St. George's Cathedral Pilgrim Guesthouse - Jerusalem

The experience of staying in a cathedral/monk quarters was amazing-definitely more memorable that staying in a hotel chain. We were pleasantly surprised by the courtyard gardens and enjoyed sitting out there with a glass of wine from the bar. Having breakfast included in the price is a great perk-plenty of food choices and the coffee was good.
Our room was unfortunately dirty, especially the bathroom. It was clear that zero effort had been made by housekeeping to turn over the room for us as new guests. The toilet and trash in the bathroom looked that something you'd expect from a dirty gas station bathroom. There were both feces and blood stains on the toilet seat and inside the bowl. :( I had to clean the toilet seat myself in order to use it. The bathroom trash had not been thrown away and was full of bloody trash. The shower had used shampoo bottles in it and the surfaces had not been wiped down at all. Also, whenever we used the sink, water leaked underneath it and pooled by our feet. And just to top off the bathroom experience, it smelled like sewer gas at all times. We told the staff about the condition of the bathroom and absolutely nothing was done to clean it except take out the trash the following day. Our bedding was clean and we had clean towels, but the other surfaces in the room hadn't been dusted or cleaned in a long time.
