Liked: Cleanliness
Overall it was very safe, easily could walk around at night by yourself and leave things in your vehicle. It was quite clean at first but the common space was not cleanted often by staff. Broken beer bottle found underneath the couch, crumbs under the table for days, and if you ran out of paper towel in the common room only some front desk people will actually do something about it others will just write an email. That was one of the worst things about the stay was how flakey certain front desk people could be. Others could be wonderful. Some will make you wait for towels until house cleaning comes by the next day, othes will grab you towels from the back to use in your shower that night. House cleaning does ignore the signs on the door saying do not disturb and will still come in. Also yes you do have access to the common feild to play on but make sure to bring your own equipment because certain front desk users wont let you use the student equipment. As well the kitchen in the common room only has an oven, sink, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and on some floors a kettle (not ours even when we asked). Bring your own utensils, dishes, rags, oven mits, pots, and pans. For the price it was fine but i will look elsewhere next time.

Tap water flow was not good as it was adjusted too slow. Not sure why, maybe for conserving the water for all the irrigation area. but it was not acceptable for a hotel use like that. However, the showing water was better. Hopefully the tap water experience can be improved.
