suspect electrics broken lock

the apartment had everything i needed for a comfortable stay.

The electrics looked suspect. It was concerning. we were given an "upgrade" upon arrival, i dread to think what the original accommodation was like. the patio door lock was broken, so the hotel wasn't secure when we went out for supper.
