Clean. Photos mostly true to life, clean towels were stacked on hamper for dirty linen in kitchen. Cold and unwelcoming. Parking instructions unclear, right from what? Left from what? You could add a diagram under check in instructions to show how people should park. Security pad too complicated with no instructions in check in,only the numbers. I wasn’t sure which door to enter or how to use security pad. The unit was not labeled with a number. Manager/owner was a little bit rude when talking about not using back door entrance. I could find no mention of how to enter or not to enter under check in instructions. Sign about not using back entrance was placed on side of fridge which is unhelpful when moving in. Called me while dragging kids and luggage in cold through the apparent wrong door to lecture me. It was very off putting. No dishwasher. No dish towels or dish rack but we are required to wash dishes with small amount of soap. No oven mitts No extra sheets for air mattress and extra pillow.We are required to strip linen off beds before we check out so I got to see my mattress was stained. Microwave handle was very broken. My husband had to figure out how I could open it without losing the entire handle.
