First from they put me in had a mattress that should have been thrown out 6 years ago. This thing was so far beyond worn it was like sleeping in an inner tube. Then they put me in a second room in which the electricity didn't work near the bed so I was unable to use my sleep machine. Kind of a noisy location as well

Jail cell

It’s misleading I believe I was getting a more modern room with more space when we walked in. It was so small. The door hit the bathroom door coming in. It’s only open halfway. The room looks like a jail cell. The only thing nice about it. Was the very tiny updated bathroom… will not be back.
