Tired property, needs renovation, bed was very soft. Room was charged to credit card on morning of booking before we arrived. Even though we phoned ahead to notify late arrival, office was locked and took several minutes to raise manger from their sleep. Office was again locked on morning of departure. Manager needs to learn about customer service.

Lots of flies - need to spray. No sound proofing - could hear people in room upstairs moving around, even peeing. Handle fell off bathroom window. Had to pay $5 to use washing machine. There was an ancient swing that looked dangerous.
