Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is an older facility that has in many respects seen better days. However, the rusty bath tub and the dilapidated exterior of the building was incidental next to the clear evidence of alcohol use and drug use of the large group of ... what appeared to us to be permanent residence of a bunch of panhandling and abusive derelicts that were in our face from the time we arrived until we left to go have dinner and then after they all poured out of their rooms as soon as pulled back into yhe parking lot ... we grabbed our belongings and sped away from the property with our property and lives intact and unmolested. We have NO DOUBT, that if we'd have stayed ... it would have ended badly with injury and loss of property. We strongly recommend that NO ONE STAY AT THIS PROPERTY!!
