“Based on some reports, the initial impression can be alarming, with mentions of drug den-like conditions and visible disrepair; this raises serious concerns about safety, especially for families. From what I read, communication with management seems challenging, marked by abruptness and a lack of accountability; I would approach booking with caution.”
