Find a better place
The room was dirty, my kids found trash of food behind the couch and also a vape in one of the beds.
The walls are so thin that you can hear everything, we didn’t get any sleep cause the neighbors were loud and you could also hear the noise of the street because the walls are so thin. The only good thing was that it was steps away from the beach.
