dirty rooftopfaulty shower door
The room I booked mentioned views of gardens or grounds, yet I had a view of a dirty rooftop and other rooms windows. The room was small. There was nowhere suitable for my suitcase, just a little, rickety luggage rack. The shower was raised approximately 14 inches. This made it difficult to get in and out since there was no grab bar. The shower door did not close correctly. Water got onto the floor. There was an accident awaiting to happen. The phone in my room did not work, so communication with reception was impossible in an emergency.
