Staff was great. Had trouble with the TV in our room. Worked to get it fixed, but we ended up moving to a different room when it couldn’t be fixed.

Needs improvement

Came to stay to visit family for the 4th of july. Stayed in room 226, the bathtub didnt drain, no one cleaned our room the entire time we were there, had to ask for new towels and toilet paper, came back to the room only to find out it was still open because the door didnt latch correctly. Once you open from the inside, you have to remember to turn the handle again to get the latch unstuck so the door will then lock behind you.

Nice facility Except shower.. shower head us so high you can't move it & spray was hard so was getting all over floor of bathroom. The shower curtain does not keep water in as it slides down bar to center & won't jeep water from going outside when assistance is needed in the shower.

Staff was nice and understand, but almost never available. Nobody was working the front desk. There was a phone at the front desk to call for help, but all it did was ring in the desk phone right next to me. Whoever was working the desk could have just as easily heard my voice or the ring.
