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.

I hate writing reviews like this but unfortunately I have to. I booked it in a rush, only looking at the pictures and pricing. I felt completely unsafe since the moment I walked up to the front door. She had to buzz me in, it was around 4pm. When I got my card key walked up to the stairs to the 3rd floor. The first thing I noticed was the large space but also stained furniture, a strange smell and we saw some bugs. We asked for another room hoping it would be better. Non were available. I wouldn't recommend anyone staying here. Especially don't stay here with kids. My kids wanted to leave right away. Don't trust the pictures, so misleading.
