Clean bathroom, dirty floors
The room was okay. The decorations were modern and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean, but the room floors were filthy. It was clear that no one has mopped them for a while. The floors felt gritty and my bare feet were black after 10 mins of walking around. I ended up putting on socks and my husband opted to walk around in shoes.

Barely acceptable
The breakfast has improved from awful to just acceptable.
The room is small. Bathroom is tiny. Pillows are blocks of rubber.
