I thought there was a minimum standard. This property should not be available through these apps. Online photos show beds that present well but does not show the state of the rooms. Bed was hard and old. Curtains were ripped off halfway up the windows. No bedside table. Door to room was damaged. The handle to open the door was actually a doorstop. Very Tacky.
