Not great

The tv did not work. It kept shutting off. Netflix would not load. The beds are super hard and difficult to sleep on. The pillows are super flat.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room itself was in excellent shape but a very small room. There was no Kleenex, no hangers on the clothes rack, and no clock. The refrigerator and the bathroom fan were very noisy. And it was very noisy outside my door till about 2:00 a.m. each morning, mostly with children. Shouting and playing the neighborhood just didn't see m safe to me, or maybe it was just the people around there. And to have to check in through a bulletproof window and not have any lobby access was unimpressive.
