Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is in desperate need of upgrades. The first room we were given the rubber moldings around the walls were lying on the floor, the curtains had holes in them, the bathroom door was damaged and the handle was falling off, the ceiling tile above the tub was falling in, the entrance door was difficult to use and the flooring was in bad shape. The neighbors were playing loud music and hanging out outside of the room smoking pot. We asked to be moved to another room. It was somewhat better, quiet but we had to call management when the door wouldn’t open with the card key. Won’t stay here again

Light above the sink didn't work at all and the floor wasn't as clean as it could be. The AC controls appeared to be in Celsius, which is fine for me, but may be a bigger issue for some. The room was cozy and fairly clean. The bedding had what appeared to be a couple of small stains, but was clean and comfortable otherwise. The bed allowed for a good night's sleep. Good value overall.

The room was dirty overall. The floors were dirty, there was something splattered on the wall by the sink, the shower was dirty and moldy. The ceiling was falling in. The phone didnt work and appeared to be covered in dirt and grease. I would not recommend staying at this property to anyone! It was gross. Extremely unsatisfied.
