During my stay at La Buena Vida inn, I encountered several concerning issues that need immediate attention: - Strands of brown hair were found on and in my bed, indicating a lack of cleanliness. - The white sheets were not only dingy but also emitted a used smell, suggesting poor laundry practices. - Dirt stains on the sheets were prevalent, highlighting the necessity for a thorough wash and bleach treatment. - The thin walls offered minimal sound insulation, leading to disturbances from outside. - Bath towels were visibly dirty, indicating improper washing methods, as they seemed to be recycled without proper cleaning and bleaching. - Lack of air conditioning made the room uncomfortable in warm weather conditions. - Water stains on the ceiling and walls were evident, indicating possible leakage issues that need addressing. - The furniture and mirror in the room were unclean and not well-maintained. - The hotel's location in a questionable area within San Juan raised safety concerns. - Floors were dirty and stained, suggesting inadequate cleaning practices. - Pillowcases and towels showed visible stains and signs of reuse, potentially leading to hygiene issues. - Calcium deposits on bathroom appliances indicated a lack of maintenance and cleanliness. - The separation between the bathroom and the room was inconvenient and lacked privacy. - Dirty walls and inadequate placement of outlets near the ceiling added to the discomfort of the stay. - Inconsistent staff availability
