Cleanliness is mixed, but noticeable
Cleanliness is a recurring point, with both strong praise and serious complaints.
Many reviewers mention the facility looking clean and maintained, including comments about clean floors and a well-kept environment. Other reviews describe unpleasant odors and dirty conditions, including reports of overflowing plumbing and dirty bathrooms. Because both experiences show up in the feedback, cleanliness appears uneven depending on the reviewerâs time there.
