The ceiling has so much water damage it looks like itll fall any second. You can barely move in the room its so compact. They dont clean the rooms daily. You get the bare minimum for towels and toilet paper and the kitchenette lol..ok. Definitely will never stay again. Oh i also paid in full prior to arriving and they still wanted a damage deposit.
