Stay was great! Wish there was a real person at check in instead of an animated zoom call. Also room does not get good ventilation, felt a bit muggy.

Dirty !!! Just dirty !!!! Dirty shower , hair everywhere , bugs flying , and dead bugs on the walls and ceilings , broken TV remote , TV would come on and off and scroll through channels by itself . (I believe remotes from other rooms coming through to my TV) staff barged in on us twice . Would knock and quickly type in code and try to open our room door ! Just unprofessional and dirty . I would like my money back

I've stayed in this facility several times and this time it was not what it used to be. The paint on the walls was peeling, mold in the shower, holes in the ceiling, uneven floorboards, no desk area, no soap at the sink. There was garbage on the floor next to the cans and just overall didn't seem like the place was being kept up. Really disappointed.
