The room had a musky smell to it, and the walls were really damaged and dirty. The real thing that made the room completely gross was the dried urine covering the toilet seat. It was covered in it. The staff was kind and helpful but unfortunately the rooms are worse than I could imagine. The bed covering looked hole covered and stained
