Literally the worst hotel I’ve...

Liked: The location is good
Disliked: The room was dated, shabby and filthy. The window would not close as the latch was broken. The slats fell off the bed when I rolled over. There was a fly infestation in the bathroom. The chair was broken. The smashed tiles in the bathroom were a hazard
