The facility isn’t clean. They won’t clean your room due to Covid unless you stay 3 nights. That’s fine but why aren’t they cleaning the elevator buttons in the elevator, vacuuming, mopping the floors? We stayed 2 nights and the elevator floor was so dirty and was never mopped. They don’t vacuum but just attempt to pick up pieces that they can see. The room was gross. The tv remote was in a safety bag but when you took it out it was filthy. The tv had 9 dots in the middle.The bathroom was the worse part. The sink fixture spout didn’t fit the sink so you could not wash your hands or do anything. The shower head was terrible. There was mold in the shower. I could go on and on but this place is not what I had expected.
