    Dirty unsafe crowded residential facility

    I stayed here - the food was good, but I repeatedly saw police called, residents yelling and threatening, minimal staff supervision, crowded three-bed rooms, persistent urine and cigarette odors, cockroaches, and sinks without running water. It felt dirty and unsafe; in my view it should be shut down or have its license revoked until fixed.
