Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Our refrigerator didn't work and they got us a working one right away. We had a accessible room, the shower was a roll in but the floor was very slippery. Loved the breakfast!!!

They should have spent a little extra on the material for the curtains they were to short to even cover the window. Let light in all night
