Decent wasn’t the worse.
Pros:

I loved the location and how convenient it was to everything. Literally had dunkin right out your window. Beautiful location. Everything was close by Walmart, ihop etc.

Cons:

The upgrade could have continued. The carpet smells like mold and old. The hallway smelled like cigarette and there smokers. The balcony needed power washing or something.

Cons:

Café da manhã. Péssimo. Só servem barrinha de cereal. Deveriam ter vergonha de chamar isso de café da manhã. Era melhor não ofertar nada, daí teríamos nos preparado.
