Review Score: 4

Summary: Our room was extremely run down: paster patches to cover hole on the walls and doors that hadn't been painted over, mismatched cupboards in the kitchen falling off their hinges, expanding wood panelling around the bathroom bench, loose wall sockets I wouldn't put my phone charger into due to safety, stains on the unused toilet paper sitting on the floor by the toilet, rotting wood around the bottom of doors and cockroaches in the bathroom and running around the kitchen bench - I took photos of all of this as I am not exaggerating at the terrible rundown state of our room! Disgraceful to assuming this room was in a condition to host visitors to the area!
