Acceptable stay

clean room decorated bathroom comfy bed untidy exterior tired entrance hallway repair

I found the room very clean and newly decorated. The bathroom also was newly decorated. The bed was comfy with super soft pillows.

The exterior looked untidy. The entrance seemed very tired and in need of refurbishment. The hallway, stairs, and dining room were in great need of repair.

The exterior needed significant attention. The approach was not inviting! I also found the television difficult to watch. It buffered constantly during the morning news.
