Kathleen

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Obvious that the management has put effort into making the area pleasant and welcoming. The managers were very friendly and welcoming. With that said, some basic maintenance issues should be addressed. Specifically that room doors seemed all to be in need of new locks and adjusting so they open & close properly. I did not feel comfortable with adequacy of the locks or ability to get out quickly in an emergency. Additionally the room was clean and appeared well maintained but had a definite musty smell that was noticeable.
