Carpets had numerous stains. You wldnt want to stay there with a baby or toddler crawling around the floor. Shower had mould, door didn’t shut properly so water all over door and drain was dirty. Otherwise comfortable enough and good space. Staff gave us the key and that was all we seen or heard from them
