Acceptable Stay with Issues

friendly stafffilthy kettledusty room
The staff was friendly!
The room was small. The kettle was filthy and the tray with tea and coffee were the same. I had to wash everything before I used it. The room looked like it had not been cleaned for a while. There was dust all around the edges.
