blood stained bedding exposed wires

The location was convenient. It was easy to reach my work activity.

Upon arrival, the room seemed nice but I soon found what looked like blood stains on the bedding. I informed reception, and they changed the bedding without offering an apology. Further inspection revealed stained bath towels and exposed wires. The hotel appears to prioritize style over substance.
