Outdated, electric outlets not available, power strip plugged into outlet for lamp, mini frig, spider webs, not cleaned in corners with dirt still evident & rusted electric heater in bathroom. The water faucet leaked & water did not come out properly. Shower faucet also was loose & outdated not spraying water for full coverage. Felt like a outdoor camp ground.
