Everythibg was very clean. Breakfast was good. I have back and hip issues so a softer bed would have been better for me. I did enjoy the abundance of pillows.

Heating was not working and they had a space heater placed on the desk to heat the room. We were not informed of this. The electronic door did not work and the staff had to push into the door with his shoulder for it to open. Needs improvements.
