worst hotel experience
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Very disappointing stay. The carpets were extremely old, dirty, and full of dust, making the rooms feel unhygienic. There was no air conditioning or even a fan, and the rooms had a very unpleasant smell throughout our stay. This was the worst hotel experience I've ever had. After this, I'm seriously reconsidering using Booking.com, as the quality of this property was completely unacceptable.
