Rooms and cleanliness draw complaints
A small number of reviews raise concerns about room size and cleanliness.
One review says rooms are small and that there is not much to offer. Another review is more detailed, citing issues like stained carpet, dirty bathrooms, an infestation reported at move-in, broken blinds, and general cleanliness problems, plus dissatisfaction with activity availability. These concerns are directly contrasted by many other reviews describing the facility as clean and comfortable, so the experience appears inconsistent across residents or time.
