Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The staff was outstanding! The path to the facility was very strange and not clear. This is not the facility fault but was still a challenge. There were issues though like, the door to the parking lot was not secure. The key reader was present but the door didn’t lock.

Negative: The security level. Not that the facility is in a bad area but the lock to the parking lot didn’t work and there were many blind spots that could make it feel less secure

Summary: Good but not great. The staff was great though!
