Cleanliness and upkeep are mixed
Cleanliness feedback is not fully consistent across reviews.
Many reviews say the facility is clean, well maintained, and comfortable, with rooms described as tidy and cared for. Some families also mention the property’s general appearance as a positive. However, one negative review reports bed bugs, and another raises concerns about cleaning staff turnover and whether sheet changes happen reliably.
