poor state worn out mattress

The place seemed a bit run down. It wasn't very clean. The mattress was so worn out that I had to sleep on top of the duvet to avoid the springs. I certainly wouldn't want to stay there again.

terrible reception creaky bed

My stay had some issues. The television reception was terrible. It was hard to watch anything (not that I planned to spend my vacation watching TV). the bed was quite creaky. Every time I moved, it made a lot of noise. I did not sleep well because of this creaky bed and poor television signal.
