Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The entire place was excellent, including and especially the staff. However, The television provider, Spectrum, was the worst I have ever experienced. It had almost no recognizable channels as well as no channel guide on the remote. It only carried one sports channel, FS1, and nothing else. Could not even get nationally televised MLB play-off games
