Staff is super amazing! Unfortunately, we saw a roach in our room and there was a bunch of alive bugs in the bathroom light moving/flying around. Besides that though, the staff is super kind and helpful. If we needed anything, they were quick on helping

The staff was friendly and the room in general was okay, but the floors were very dirty. There was nothing in the room other than soap and outside the room was dirty as well. There were cigarette butts everywhere, trash and even dog feces in the walkways and stairwells. There were several people both nights just handing out in the parking lot and the persistent smell of marijuana.
