Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were given unit 2 with severe water damage. Wood floors were buckled due to the damage that was not repaired. We were given unit 1after requesting a replacement. The unit is also bad. Some water damage on door, very small vanity in the bathroom just enough for a couple toothbrushes. Poor condition of vanity with door for the bathroom can’t closed. No place to hang clothes. Just terrible experience. Seems the bedsheets weren’t replaced. Both bedsheets were installed inside out. Coincidence? Perhaps, but not likely.
