My second visit a will be my last! They need to update the walls with fresh coat of paint, pull up the carpet a friendl
Pros:

The location was prefect

Cons:

The smell of the room, yes we had a pet so they might of gave us a room with a prior pet. We had to go buy plug ins and air freshener. The shower/tub was unsafe, very slippery so I had to put down a towel to keep from falling.

It was a little outdated and ceiling was peeling. There was a leak in our bedroom. Not sure where from. Some of the power outlets didn’t seem to work. But it wasn’t too bad.
