"I stayed her previously and booked again. This room was on a different floor, had live cockroaches coming from the sink, bathtub and under the couch. I contacted the property manager and they were able to reassign me to another room on another floor that was clean without any sign of bugs."

The cops are more so of criminals and they love to harass & lie. The shopping centers are very convenient and large selections, there is a huge homeless population here but they HV a pretty good homeless coalition and resources. It's beautiful here.
