The staff seem to enjoy working together. They were always cleaning, laughing, talking. The place and bathroom was sparkly clean. I felt very safe. I had a private room. The other guests were quiet. Except one night but that is fine. Meagan was great, so was Adam. Just a lovely fun and different experience! Way better than a boring hotel room.
