The room was very dirty. The doors were very gross, strains and dirty all over them. Very dusty door frame, dirty head boards. Holes in the walls, ceilings have water damage. Mold all around the baseboards. Lights has caked up dirt and dusty all over them all! Outlets has dirt/mold or whatever it was called all over them. The room really needs a super deep clean. I had to clean the A/C vent because it was blowing dusty air!
