basic stay with notable drawbacks

hanging handrailcommunal areas
The stairs were a real hazard, especially because one of the handrails was hanging off. communal areas were very dirty. Our room was small but acceptable and fairly clean though. noise throughout the hotel with other guests slamming doors kept us awake all night. It was frustrating.
