When we first arrived there was trash in the yard and bushes. As we were bringing things inside we noticed very sticky spots on the floor. The counters were dirty, see attached photo of dirty cleaning wipes we had to buy. We had to vacuum immediately. As we were getting ready for bed, the bedding was dirty. Full of long black hair, chips, and lots of stains. We brought the concerns up with the property manager and she was able to deliver new stuff 4 hours later which was a long time of us waiting around. The decorative pillows are very dirty and we had to get them off the beds right away. There was left over Taco Bell and coffee left in the garage garbage which was not pleasant to smell. There was countless dirty things we found, under the bed we found someone’s empty facial spray, dirty socks, garbage and a rotten SAUSAGE. Gross. See photos. There were also spiders and cobwebs all over. Overall this place needs a complete head to toe deep clean, and all new bedding and towels. 3 stars is being kind. All of us girls agree this was a dirty place and we are still shocked. I can confidently say we left the place cleaner than how we got it!
