Unmade beds, used towels, bins full, floor was horrendous. Cleaner eventually came so our check in time was later then it should have been. It still wasn’t up to cleaning standards. Barely vacuumed and didn't mop, blood stained blanket in one room, the list could go on. The house has potential but unfortunately its like theres no care in the world. Disappointed with our stay. 1/10 do not recommend. ##### Aliciah R.
