adequate stay, some issues noted

visible mold small shower
The bathroom had visible mold. It was most noticeable behind the curtains near the window. dust accumulation suggested poor ventilation, this was a real problem. the shower stall was quite small, and the door didn't open wide enough, this made entry and exit awkward. the cleaning staff entered the rooms without prior authorization. This lack of privacy was concerning.
