Has not been cleaned inside or out for a long while. Rooms were poor in every way. Towel bars not attached-mildew on every corner of everything. Dripping taps and nothing you wanted to touch. Pictures on Expedia are about 10 years out dated from what it really looks like. Not a good area or neighbourhood. Needle caps on the ground but no needles so at least they pic those up!
