Disgusting bring your own things... Liked: Staff was nice Disliked: There was hair on the bathroom wall. Like you know when women wash their hair and your hair falls out and you just leave it on the wall to later pick it up? someone's blond hair was all over this wall. They don't clean these rooms j
