The room is cold, and the heater doesn’t work. They only provide a blanket for comfort. 😳 Overall, the place is clean and comfortable, but the heater is not functioning. It seems like they have energy-saving AC/heater units, but as a result, the room doesn’t get warm or cold enough. I Do NOT Recommend staying here, specifically in winter.

In the renovated room, the toilet was plugged and needed maintenance to come fix it, then the 'suite door' that connects rooms had a very large gap underneath, a few inches, and you can see and hear the neighbors, a complete lack of privacy. Also, when we were transferred in the night to another room, we were given an older room, that was also not handicapped accessible, it was upstairs, and nowhere near parking on that side of the property; super inconvenient and challenging for persons like myself. Additionally, the tv programming in the older non-renovated rooms had very limited viewing channels, unlike the newer rooms that had many choices.

Bare floors and inadequate heat.
Really only 2 problems. 1.) they don’t have carpeting in their rooms. I HATE bare floors! 2.) The only heat/A/C they have is via a small In-Wall Unit, and it isn’t up to the job of heating the room. And no, they don’t give you enough blankets to make up for it.
