Underwhelming Stay, Some Issues Noted

cracking drawerdirty socks
Honestly, the cleanliness left much to be desired. There was a very obvious cracking drawer next to the bed. It contained a uc letter, dirty socks and tinfoil. there were flies all over the room. A shouting incident in the early hours woke up my child. It was less than ideal.
