Food quality is mixed

Cleanliness is a frequent check-in

Many reviewers comment on cleanliness in and around the building.

One reviewer emphasizes that the facility is always clean, and another says it’s always very clean.

Pricing concerns and increases

A recurring concern involves monthly cost increases.

Multiple reviews mention that pricing has increased over time, with one saying the increases are substantial without corresponding service changes.
