The staff was noisy slamming the exit door early, i was staying near it. the toasters were burnt out and not working properly. the laundry facility was inconvenient. It caused me to lug my laundry between buildings.

convenient carpark included breakfast great location uneven floor poor door design unusable remote

I found the breakfast included a nice touch. The carpark was conveniently located by room. I also appreciated that a Trader Joe's was a few steps away. It proved very useful for getting food .

I noticed the floor was uneven in my room. The bathroom door also had a poor design. A sliding door would have fit better. The TV remote was not usable, I found that a bit frustrating.
