It’s a decent stay if you have a budget in mind. The rooms are simple, clean, and comfortable. It is a long-term stay community, so you will see and hear that type of environment.

Bed was nicce, toilet and sink were clean. Trash on the floor, dog food on the floor. The shower was awful, shower walls need to be replaced, the shower curtain needs to be burned. The bottom of it was torn all the way off. The rings on top were all broken and the inside of the curtain was disgusting, like I said burn it! Will never stay there again! When relayed this info to the front desk, He said have a nice day!
