Floors filthy. Shower did not drain, so inch or more of standing water when showered and shower head leaked significant amount of water, deadbolt on door did not work and would not lock, awkward room set up for anyone to sit. Had room safe in closet and someone left dirty personal item. Small tv and mounted on very far wall so basically not able to use. We actually left a day early.
