Dirty!!!

Dirty sheets (blood stained sheets) on the Queen bed upstairs! Dirty dishes in the cupboards, floors and baseboards are dirty. The thermostat was off line upon our arrival. The upstairs bathroom door does not have a light in the toilet area nor a lock on the door. The back patio door does not lock.
