"I like the cleanliness of the room and friendly staff but I got itches on my feet when I left the property so I had to deal with it the whole time I was driving for the whole day. My bad that I was walking around the room barefooted and didn’t worry about invisible bacteria might be on the floor that caused the itching because it was or looks clean. Well it’s a lesson learned… will be careful next time"

"My only complaint is that they do not have safety bars on baths and the position of the liquid soaps dripping on tub makes it so dangerous, I fell and told the receptionist about safety issues and they said they will make a note about it? Otherwise the place is nice and food is good and staff there are so nice."
