yellowed shower rim loose bannister
The room was not up to par. the shower rim was yellowed and the kettle looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages. the stairs to the second floor were rickety. The bannister felt loose, and i worried it would snap if i leaned on it too hard. wifi was poor. i wouldn't book again. i feel totally let down.
