Our entry door was apparently kicked or forced open at some point. The door jam was barely screwed back together. The deadbolt did not line up to slide into the jam. The door knob was loose and barely held the door shut. This is the main entry door into the room. We wedged a chair under the knob to hopefully help hold the door closed if someone pushed against it. The toilet seat was extremely small and uncomfortable for anyone to use, especially a bigger person. Had no hot water in the bathroom sink. The blinds were 1/2 missing which allowed everyone to look into the bathroom from the outside while being used.

Property is so old definitely needs renovation, it’s clean but so old. I book a suit or at least that’s what they call it but actually it’s a room divided into two, each room has a small bed . Only one electric outlet in the whole suite, the AC is blowing directly on the bed few inches away. The grill was filthy nobody cleaned for a long long time. The best thing about this place is the location. Not going back.

The toilet was not attached to floor very well the whole thing rocked like crazy, the shower water pressure was horrible a camper does better. The outlet that fridge was plugged into was so loose from wall when plugging something else in it was sparking, there was an electrical current going straight to the metal of the fridge and it would shock you each time opening it. We did tell owner it was shocking us but alls he did was tighten the outlet on wall.
