Aged and not as clean as it used to be. A good scrubbing would be great

This is fair price for a hotel. I did the check-in online, but I still ended up waiting forever. Under the suitcase rack in our room there or bits of kibble from what I assume was a dog or cat? Having allergies to pet dander, you could tell the minute you turned on the air unit that there had been animals in the room. So the room is not thoroughly cleaned. But for what it was, not bad overall.
