helpful staff extra facilities water filling dirty walls see-through door long wait

The staff was helpful 24/7. It was perfect for where we wanted to be! The extra facilities WERE great. A washing machine, a tumble dryer, a steamer, an iron, a microwave, a gym, and water filling facilities were available.

The walls were very dirty, and the bathroom door, BEING see-through, was strange. There is a need for more laundry machines. The wait for laundry was too long.
