dirty carpetvisible stain
The room was clean initially, but I found an orange stain on the carpet, quite off-putting. I had to cover it with a towel. This made moving around uncomfortable because I was extra careful about where I stepped. The carpet should be cleaned more thoroughly or replaced altogether.
