Stains everywhere, Disappointing.

Stains everywhere: On the bedding, chairs in room, all over the carpet and walls. Curtains falling off. Mattresses literally hard as rocks. Fan in bathroom broken, steamed up whole room after a shower. Never stayed in a hotel with stains everywhere. The room we were given wasn’t what was pictured on website, not the hotels fault though. Thought the bedroom/sitting area were separate and for the money they should have been. Would have booked elsewhere much nicer for the price. Won’t be back.
