Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I was bitten by bed bugs during my stay, which was very concerning and made the experience uncomfortable. Although the property appears to have been refurbished, the overall building still feels old and dated. I hope management takes the necessary steps to address the bed bug issue and improve the overall condition of the property.
