This hotel was old and run down. The ceiling in the bathroom had leaked along the edge badly. It was as clean as it could be, but I could see light along the edge of the door and the outside access door had no lock. Anyone could get in.
One side of the bed sunk in when I sat on it - but the mattress on the other side thankfully was still in good shape. The bed was not made well, I could have tripped on the blanket on one side.
