room was smaller and stuffier than expected. uneven carpeting was pretty bad look. bathroom situation was not clear (e.g., no separation of toilet and shower). was barely in my room besides sleeping for two nights and still got bug bites or allergic reactions. no staff was ever seen onsite. little support. no elevator - not heavy luggage friendly.

I chose this place because the pictures looked great and the location was really convenient. The room was clean but the mold smell was really extrem. I only stayed one night and even in that short time the smell got really overwhelming.

It is a little bit loud
