The room was very clean but extremely old. When the door is tightly shut, there is a 1” gap along the entire length of the door. You can literally see out onto the deck. The slide lock had to be forced in order to lock. We went to the office, and the lady at the desk acted shocked and said someone must have removed the weather strip. I asked for another room. There was only one available, it has the same 1” gap but no second lock. We stayed with the same room and barricaded the door lol we found out in speaking to other guests there rooms have the same gap. Everything is very old.
