underwhelming experience

low water pressuremisleading pictures
the shower in my room barely had any water pressure. mold grew around the bathtub and the bathroom clearly wasnt properly cleaned. i also wasnt impressed cause the images online look way better than it did in person, feels kinda misleading to see those pictures.
