water damage mould wall
the breakfast was satisfactory.
My allocated room was not acceptable. The ceiling showed water damage that had not been addressed. there was also mould on the walls indicating leaks, so i refused to stay in that room. no other rooms were available, i left to find alternative lodgings.
