I stayed there in the winter. It looked like the side door entrance had never been shoveled. Even when there are three "employees" sitting on the couch watching TV. Grab a shovel and a cup of salt and do something.

I think some of the towels/wash clothes should be replaced. Some are discolored and sometimes still (what looks like) hair in them. Other than that, every one is very helpful and friendly. I appreciate being able to bring my dog if I need to. I do wish the building had an elevator. I was also very pleased that the parking lot was cleared of the snow so quickly.
