Liked: Cleanliness
Was a nice hotel the staff is very friendly, but unfortunately, with people living there those people were extremely rude. Coming back from the bar at 2:30 in the morning and just walking down the hallway trying to figure out the vending machine being yelled at to keep it down because somebody wants to have a room right by the vending machine isn’t very smart, and we were not being loud. Also, all the kids screaming obnoxiously in the lobby was very unwelcoming.

It was a great experience. The receptionist was very nice, and the lady working in the kitchen and dining area was wonderful as well. Breakfast was great, and they were very accommodating by allowing us a later checkout since my mom’s appointment was pushed back.
