Ratings(marks out of 10)
Area Cleanliness: 4 (Although it was raining the floor should have been kept dryer and was not clean looking)
Smell/Odour: 5 (No smell either way)
Running Water: 3 (Cold tap only and sink was a bit dirty)
Hand wash/Soap: 10
Hand dryer/towels: 6 (Paper towel dispenser)
Toilet paper: 10
State of the floor: 4 (A small bin was provided by used towels but these were on the floor instead)
State of the toilet: 6 (Not very clean looking)
Toilet checklist: 0 (Did not see one)
Other: With the bin being so small I ended up stomping down the towels to stop more littering the floor. Through traffic was not much in this place so it seems the toilets were not checked recently. Bonus points: -4

Total Score: 44

Overall comments: Not impressed at all and toilets were quite dark and dingy looking. Floor was wet and had used towels on it. No hot water. A good tourist attraction let down by the toilets.
