This Propert could have so much potential if they would do a better JOB of cleaning .. the sheets are HEAVLY STAINED. The walls in the rooms are busted with holes and stained . Towels are very stained .. they may need to change the washing products they use or use BLEACH to clean the bacteria . Around the property could be cleaned a little better it’s Smells of Smoke Very badly and animals

Shower was definitely the worse thing about the room. It was alright but I suggest just paying the extra 20 or so bucks and you can get a much nicer room close by
