Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It had a bed and a shower. The only 2 two good things about the place even though they smelled. The whole property smelled gross, stunk of cigarettes, and drugs. The place was very unheigenic. Check in staff was rude and disrespectful. Felt like i needed a fresh shower just for being in the place. The people who were around the property felt very unsafe and like I had to keep an eye over my shoulder.
