rooms were way too hot. I was perfectly comfortable with a fan blowing on me, but it was unbearable when the fan would oscillate away from me. typically I can handle hot too. pool needed to be cleaned more often and the fridge and freezer were questionably clean and cold. the most insane thing was no water available to purchase or free filtered water.
