improper sliding door poor cleaning
the location was acceptable. it was close to grand central terminal.
The room was tiny. the sliding door to the toilet didn't close properly, so i had to use cardboard to keep it shut. There was very little privacy! cleaning wasn't thorough. Some areas were dusty and hadn't been cleaned in a while.
