Property continues to need updating (in process), I did not see those areas. Why do you not recycle? It seems it was done in years past and now has stopped. What a shame for the environment.

I will never go back

The room was very dirty and smelled bad. I found pubic hair on the toilet seat, the toilet bowl was dirty from the previous person. There was an empty box of beer in the fridge, the bed smelled musty like somebody had slept in it.
