Just a few things needing attention as I listed above

Alright
Pros:

It was nice enough and comfortable.

Cons:

The stove caught fire from wires being wrapped in painters tape instead of electrical tape. It was very scary and sparks went flying. My partner and I had never experienced something like that before

I wouldn’t recommend anybody staying there people live here and it’s just nasty
Pros:

NOTHING

Cons:

First of all the hotel room, they gave us had stink bugs on the ceiling in the wall in the windows. The room smells like cat. The second room had a few bugs, but the refrigerator had roaches crawling around in the refrigerator. They had to come up and literally wipe down the refrigerator and get the bugs off the wall roaches crawling around big ones little ones. It was the nastiest place I’ve ever stayed the temperature dropped to 50 and the heat did not work. The TV did not work. The door lock was broken. You had to fight to get in the door.
