Cleanliness is mixed between reviews

Cleanliness is a mixed point, with some calling the facility fresh while others report serious odor and hygiene concerns.

A few reviews praise the facility for being clean and even mention it smells good. Others report much more serious problems, including filthy rooms, feces-like odors, and neglect concerns. These negative reviews stand in contrast to the positive cleanliness notes, so it appears cleanliness varies by situation or timing.
