Pros:

The staff was friendly and welcoming. The location was close to most things we needed.

Cons:

This place needs a serious face-lift, its very dated and the updates needed cant be masked by a coat of paint.

The room was clean for the most part but clean doesnt mask the musty smell. The bottom of the shower curtain was dirty and moldy. Breakfast was subpar - you could hear the breakfast attendant microwaving the sausage patties, the apple juice was watery and the orange juice seemed expired. I don't think charging $100+ is a fair price for something that still has the same carpet from the 90s (or before).

Pros:

Disability room was very close to the door. Room was super comfortable

The first night the lock on my room didn’t work but the staff was amazing and got me another suitable room. The lock was fixed in the morning!

It was fine.
Pros:

Close to where I needed to be.

Cons:

Our door was opened from the outside by someone else while we were sleeping. We were told that happens due to pressure changes despite our door being locked. We were also told the cameras didn’t work so they couldn’t verify how our door was opened. That’s not ok.
