The room looked rundown: the elevator was terrifying to use, there were scuff marks all over the walls, the windowsill had peeling paint, the bathroom tile grout was chipping, there was limescale on the shower door and the furniture looked worn down.
The guy who checked me in was so kind and offered great places to eat and visit for tourists, however that doesn't make up for the fact that the rooms look like they're unkempt. Unfortunately, the guy who checked me out wasn't as nice. Someone vandalized my car in a lot down the street and when I called to ask if their building had security (I let him know I had just checked out 3 minutes prior) he said no and then hung up on me. I understand this is not a traditional hotel hence the lack of security, but there was no need to hang up on me.
My friend and I also went into the kitchenette to make a cup of tea after checkout and the door was blocked off by garbage bags.
I wasn't expecting anything super fancy because a friend and I were just staying overnight, but I have never stayed in a place that looked so poorly kept. Leave the lobby decor alone and focus on keeping the rooms where people have to lay their heads clean!
