It was filthy. Dirty walls. Molded ceiling. Heavily stained towels. Debris on the bed that comes with heavy stains. Upon finally laying down, the bed still had most from body heat. Roaches. Staff are very unwelcoming and unprofessional. The whole facility is more than run down.

The staff is extremely rude and combative about everything. Every day they change the rules on pricing. You will not find any amount of professionalism or courtesy here. Turn back now! You have been warned.
