Aiden Austin City Hotel
Bathroom was seriously so dirty. Behind the toilet paper roll was disgusting. I had hair piled up beside the bed and when a pillow fell on the floor, after I picked it up it was covered in dust and hair. Staff was chill but I asked for room cleaning after a few days and it never came. Won’t be staying ...
