damp room unclean bathroom
Breakfast was okay. I did not find anything particularly wrong with it.
The room smelled strongly of damp, the walls had visible stains, and the bedsheets felt rough and old. The bathroom was not clean. I saw hair in the shower drain and the toilet had not been flushed properly.
