Very nice and friendly staff, clean hallways and rooms. I was treated like I was visiting with personal family at a private home.

The receptionist was very polite and was very helpful as I checked in. It’s a lovely facility. My friends room is very nice. But I noticed in the halls. It was very hot. It appears that the air conditioner was not working. My friends room has its own air conditioner, so that wasn’t a problem. Bad time for lack of a/c.
