“Location and price may initially draw you in, but be aware that the experience may not align with expectations. I found that the age of the property and cleanliness could be improved. While the staff's friendliness is a plus, it doesn't fully compensate for the condition of the facilities.”

The floorboards were in terrible condition. I worried I would fall through to the room below. The room had mold, and the bathroom was not clean. (It seems maintenance is not a priority). The bed felt unsteady with its old metal frame.
