All local people aren’t always up to no good
Pros:

The location

Cons:

I’m a 53 yr old professional woman. My sister had passed and i just wanted to get away due to the craziness at home. I needed quietness and a good night sleep. They don’t cater to local residents. I have nothing to do with the inconsiderate people who mean this facility any good.

Unclean room
Pros:

Staff

Cons:

Our room had pet hairs on the floor around the kitchen area. Bathroom floors were dirty! Toilet was not clean. We told front desk that the room was not clean and she said that she would make a note of it, without offering to another room to us.
