outdated room messy bathroom
The room felt outdated. It looked like it hadn't been updated since the seventies. the bathroom was tiny. The shower door didn't fully prevent water from spilling out. this made the bathroom floor constantly wet and messy. frankly, it was irritating, the lack of attention to detail was frustrating.
