We were disappointed in our room. Based on previous reviews of this property and the price point, we expected better. There was mold in the corners of the shower. One of the light fixtures in the bathroom was rusty. Along the baseboards in the bathroom, it needed to be cleaned. The stopper for the bathtub was on its side, sticking up out of the drain pipe. Water pressure from the shower head was on the weak side. Bathroom door needed a good cleaning and could have used a new coat of paint. The back side of the entry door to the room appeared to have been patched with some kind of circular, possibly hard plastic, material. There were nail or screw holes in the wall above the closet. Overall, the room could benefit from some updating, and it needs to be cleaned better.
