Good for the price
Pros: Good location, easy parking, free washing machines, very friendly owner Cons: Single pane windows that don't seal well let in all the traffic noise, shower pressure/flow was terrible, bathroom sink so small it was basically useless, pool small and not heated. For the price though, ok stay.
