Never staying again

3.0

Dirty mugs in the bedroom. Very dusty everywhere. Water in the fridge half drank. Shower had no real pressure. Food was really bad. I had a feta tart that I think may have been frozen. It’s was burnt on the outside and mushy on the inside. The feta was slimy hence why I thought it may have been frozen.

As above.
