Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The first room I was in had a door connecting it to the room next door. There was no noise insulation and I had to be moved to another room due to the insane level of noise. The next room I was in had a noisy air conditioner that didn’t work well and the bathroom smelled of urine. Very poor experience.
