Overall experience was good, but it was clear that the bare minimum amount of effort and expense was used to make the place functional. Staff was generally pleasant but constantly changing to different people, so no continuity.

Not so great

The bed was clean and comfortable, but the shower and toilet left the floor wet. The floor in the room was filthy. If I walked barefoot, my feet were black. Not impressed.
