"It was barely acceptable. Tun looked dirty and the main door showed signs of damage. The door to connecting room could not be deadbolt locked. Two flimsy back up locks were able to be engaged."

"The staff at the front desk checked us in and out efficiently but lacked the warmth and hospitality. The bathroom stall was also slippery. Almost fell. Need to put some kind of traction to prevent falls."
