Disliked: Amenities
The bed was hard to sleep on. TV signal did not work for reception. The shower curtain needs more length to it to cover from wall to wall at the bottom. The two main hallways were carpeted with carpet squares. Some of the carpet squares need to be replaced. Also, the change in elevation in the main hallway was not marked on the side walls or on the carpet.

Facility in poor condition, although freshly painted and with new vinyl flooring. Bed was clean and comfortable. The floors were dirty in the corners and around the baseboard. Convenient location. Well-lit parking lot.

Traveling from Memphis TN home to Neenah WI. Room was clean, mattress comfortable. Seems renovations are happening so any odors or construction debris did not interfere with my needs of a couple hours of good quiet sleep.
