average stay but issues noted

rotten floor ceiling cobwebs
the location was convenient for travelling.
The bathroom had issues. The floor seemed like it was rotting under the vinyl. i also found a spider in the bath, and there were cobwebs on the ceiling. overall, the floors could have been cleaner. I was disappointed.
