worn bathroom small breakfast area

i must say, the room showed some wear and tear. the bathroom looked a bit tired. the sofa had quite a few stains, giving it an unclean feel, plus, the breakfast area felt too small for the number of guests. it was loud and crowded. i could hear everything happening in the hallway.
