Staff wasn't very friendly we asked about rates for the next day, asked if they took AARP or if they had a discount for contractors because we are here plowing snow and she said no we don't very rude. I wish I could remember her name. We had to scoope the snow in front of the door, no big deal. But that lady that was working she acted like she hated her job.i know she had short hair glasses and on Friday jan.12 I seen her working in laundry.
