Disliked: Cleanliness
Property is located in a very central area. Easy check in instructions available. The building is quite old and needs some TLC. The downside is that they also had quite a bit of cockroaches crawling everywhere and would benefit from a fumigation.

The location is awesome and the staff is friendly and quick to respond, but room was infested with roaches, left day before check out (2 day rental) was scheduled, staff apologized but that’s simply not enough. I do mean infested as we killed over 7 roaches and saw more, staff and owner pretended to be surprised by infestation, if indeed they didn’t know it is their job to know.
