Mixed Experience, Central Location with Notable Issues

dirty bedstained towels
The room had issues. The door did not close properly, (I could see light from the hallway). I also found the room wasn't very clean. There was dust on the floor and on the bed. they did not provide shampoo or shower gel. The provided towels were small and stained.
