I thought I was booking a luxury condo in Brighton, but this was far from that.The photos are very deceiving. I booked this rental for 3’nights for just me as I was attending a wedding at the Solitude Resort. I arrived at 10pm to pitch darkness. No lighting on the outside of the home except a small motion light by the “front” back door. The check in process is not a really a process. It says the last four of your phone number is the code to get in. The key pad is inoperable and the unit was unlocked (on top of a “front” back door that takes a wrestler to open! That “front” back entry door doesn’t lock and you enter into a shared laundry locker room area.). Who knows who and what was waiting behind the door? I’m a woman traveling alone and I was scared! I opened the door while on FaceTime with my husband just in case.
Once inside I locked the small deadbolt. You can’t lock door when you leave!! Scary. Turned on kitchen light, half are burnt out in wagon wheel light and one ceiling light is half burnt out as well. I went through the whole place turning on every light I could. I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face. The only good lighting is in the bathrm so I kept them on. The only lighting in the living room is a string of outdoor lights above your head. 3/4 of that string was out as well. On top of all the burned out bulbs, the ones that work are Edison bulbs which are very dim. It was just as dark in daytime! No light!
Refrigerator had a gallon of past dated milk. Probably from the last renter. I did not cook, but the kitchen has a few pots and pans but only 1 glass & 1 plastic drinking cup. There isn’t a dishwasher and the sponge wasn’t new(didn’t touch it). There wasn’t any cleaner. There are no amenities available except a roll of tp and pt, not even hand or bath soap. Luckily I had a bar of soap in my bag from a recent hotel stay. There was a hair dryer & enough clean towels. I didn’t use the jetted tub or sauna, no operating instructions. Knowing which handle does what in the shower would be nice so you don’t get a cold pre-shower before getting in. I never got any hot water in the bathrm sinks. Bed is comfy. TV and wiring hangs from ceiling. Only operable windows are in bedroom. They have shutters and are dirty. Slider in living rm is off limits. The wifi worked fine. Guests upstairs last night came at 11pm, very loud. Host responded timely when messaged, he was pleasant. Couldn’t find trash dump. Brighton store has a snack bar.
