Broken down mattress

When I first arrived, walking into the front desk area, it was a very clean and remodeled and the staff very friendly, however, once I started driving through the parking lot, I realized that this was not as it first appeared. In the lot, there were broken down cars, cars with smashed and or missing windows and even one old van converted to sleep in, with someone living in it.

As it turns out, this is also an extended stay with several rooms that looked like the residents had been living there for quite sometime. There were families with infants living here along with several residents with two pit-bulls. In my opinion not a place to raise an infant. I rode the elevator down to the lower floor to find my room. I tried to use it to go back up but the doors kept opening and closing, so I used the stair case. The stair case smelled so strong of rancid urine that I had to hold my breath sprinting up the stairs.

The worst part was my bed. The mattress was so broken down that I had to sleep in the middle of the bed and on my side as to not bottom out. I was up by 4 am and got a much earlier start to my day than I expected.

As a retired police officer and with the current state of civilians against police, and several markings on my vehicle which show my support for the police, I was concerned about my vehicle being in the parking lot, thankfully, everything turned out okay. There is a nice outside pool in the center of the complex, but I saw no one using it. Bottom line, I would not recommend this to fellow travelers, especially with young children.
