Needs updating big time, cleaning crew needs some help on their turnovers but for the price it is what it is.
Pros:

Everyone was nice and accommodating when issues came about. The pool and basketball hoops were nice and the location.

Cons:

The cleaning of the rooms on the 3rd floor. I was moved to the first after two moves and was very happy after that.
