Windows in my room were open when I arrived - on a rainy day - bed was very wet from the rain. Thin duvet - got cold at night. No rubbish bin in [private] room. Toilet stalls don't properly close and/or don't lock. Shower doors have wide gaps through which you can see straight in. The building doesn't feel maintained or cared for. Many security cameras everywhere.
