Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property and room itself were clean. The ONE BIG ISSUE I had was the room I was in. It was on the Foyer level. Was very noisy from people coming in and out. ..then the staff very very noisy chatting in the hallway in the morning. And I had some sort of office that was connected to my apartment, with a door, it was locked but could hear EVERYTHING from that room, including swearing at times. Think its SO WRONG to have this connected in this way. NOT HAPPY AT ALL....
