They had a nice trail in the back, which really gave homeless and crime. There a dumpster with a baby diaper and some suspicious things around it. The overall vibe of this particular property did not sit right with us, and we could not sleep here peacefully, but overall was at a great price, and at least had towels and a bed so . I really think they should focus more on cleanliness and be more strict on smoking because the next-door neighbors literally smelled the whole level of weed.

First hour I checked in, I found the bathroom sink very dirty, it looked like there were dried puke on the sink. Second day I was there, I found the bathroom flooded with water possibly coming from the room on top of us. The front desk person who dealt with me was blaming me for choosing an old building, saying that “well, this building is old, we have one in Irvine which is definitely new”. I did not like his response. I will not recommend this place to anyone.
