There was trash from people before us, back door was broken to get to the pool, air conditioning didn’t work (it was so hot inside that the glass was all fogged up it was like a sauna), and the blow dryer in the bathroom SHOCKED ME when I tried to plug it in, my boyfriend heard the sound of the shock loudly from two rooms away.
