basic stay with issues

small roombreakfast hygiene
The room was SMALL. the bathroom was outside the room and required a code for access. this felt insecure and inconvenient, ESPECIALLY at night. the breakfast area lacked hygiene. I questioned if there were inspections.

the location is good for bus access. It makes it easy to go sightseeing. the room was clean. there was a water heater inside the room.
the building looks run down inside and out. the room needs new bedding and pillows. the curtains were kind of falling apart at the top.
