"The flip lock on the door is broken #133. The desk chair leans back so far you feel like you'll hit the floor. But, the staff brought us a regular straight back chair which was wonderful. The toilet is loose from the floor, annoying but, not a deal breaker. Outside had alot of construction areas. ..."
