mismatched hangers bathroom mould
the breakfast was ok. at least the coffee was hot.
the room lacked proper storage for clothes. there was just a flimsy hanging section with mismatched hangers. the bathroom had mould on the walls and ceiling above the shower, it was pretty grim. the shower head wouldn't stay in place, made showering difficult.
