After issues with the code not working a calls in the dark we were told there was a key on the door frame. Luckily one of our group was tall enough to reach. We were not aware there was no A/C and when we went to open the windows, they were full of spider webs and dirt. With two if our group having allergies, it was not pleasant. Beds were comfortable enough, but pillow left much to be desired. We did purchase a box fan to cool things off some. The deck was very unstable and we did not feel safe. With no air you would expect ceiling fans in every room.
