Our room had a leaking MiniSplit. It was so bad it was accumulating on the floor near the outlet- electrical hazard. The toilet was wobbly and flooring looked like it needs maintenance. The bed was decent but the the headboard was broken I guess..? Needs maintenance for sure otherwise does the job for just in and out stay, but probably won’t go back
