Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The neighbors apparently live there. Had people going in and out all day but they didn’t bother me. They seemed nice
The room was still dirty when we came just looked like they changed the sheets and called it a day. When I tired to extend my stay they said they couldn’t and I had to do it online.
