Wouldn’t recommend!! The tv didn’t work at first (but they did fix it fast and efficiently), the heater didn’t work without making the fire alarm go off, there was hair like someone shaved there face/body in the shower before even using it, the shower took forever to get warm it also was incredibly hard to pull the tab to change it from a bath to a shower had to wrap a towel around it and use all my strength, the floors were sticky, and I left after seeing TWO different cockroaches crawl out the sink!!! Would not recommend… only plus side was the staff was friendly and helpful.
