Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was extremely dirty. Like its never been cleaned walls were dirty and killed 2 roaches. Lights are sensored so any movement while sleeping they turn on including the restrooms fan. Beds have peices of dangerous bars sticking out in which i hit my right leg. I took pictures for proof. Parking lot is full of homeless walking around. Did not feel safe at all.
