Pros +

  • No issues.
  • Staff very friendly and kept facilities in great shape
  • Cleanliness, and staff was very friendly.

Cons -

  • Some buildings should be update or replaced
  • The sliding door did not have a working lock, unable to secure the door from opening from the outside. Phone did not have any directory to call the office. Had a tough time turning the tv on in the living room.
  • The toilet in our room overflowed I was provided a plunger but after numerous attempts it still wouldn’t flush. Unfortunately it was after hours so nothing could be done. Thankfully it was our last evening there.
