Jeffrey

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Small stuffy rooms with no A/C and the owner can't spring for even a moderate fan. The bathroom and shower are shared. The owner can't spring to even fix the shower head which becomes a factor when one is trying to be as quick as possible in a bathroom shared with guests from 5 other rooms. Spend 20 pounds and fix the shower at least.
