Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything was absolutely perfect except for one thing and that was the bathroom. The bathtub was obviously extremely old as the bottom of the tub was chipping away. It looks as though it might’ve been repaired many times over. Also, there were some tiles that were separating from the wall behind the toilet. Add some separation of wood from the door panel where the hinges are. If the bathroom had been immaculate then I would’ve given it a five star review.

the location and staff were awesome, the property appears to be at a point that they should start "rebuilding" not remodeling. starting from the rooms one building at a time should be leveled an rebuilt from the pipes up. id love to see it with a complete makeover in 5-6 years. Love the chain hope it continues.
