Some glitches with the physical facility, as they were coming out of a major remodeling (lock did not work on first room, etc.) but staff was very friendly and helpful and took care of any problems. We really enjoyed our stay.

Check in was a breeze with Josh. They’ve done a great job remodeling very comfortable mattress, but the pillows were too soft. It was quiet at night, but road traffic woke me up in the morning because our room was in the front overall it was a great experience.

The hallway light at night made the room too lit. The curtains weren’t effective. This was the only complaint. Everything else was great.

Overall stay was okay. The lady who checked me in was really nice. But our room was a little dirty, bathroom doorknob was broken, stains on blankets/pillows, loose hair on bedding and the room had an old smell to it.

The facility has just been renovated. New beds, new HBAC unit, working internet, Roku video streaming available and fresh paint. However, coming from a tour trip on the 2nd, the door keys did not work. I have to call and wait for service.
