Rooms are small but they work. Everyone is very friendly and the weekly cleaning is wonderful. Kat does a great job. Home away from home while working. Office people super helpful and will work around any schedule. Those leaving ugly reviews should realize they are at an extended stay and not your mommas house

I am enjoying my stay so far! I didn't plan on being here, but it has been a very pleasant experience thus far, and everyone is very friendly! Even my neighbors. I'm not used to either after moving up here. Southern hospitality and all. Especially Texas. Everyone there you meet is a friendly neighbor and gracious to talk candidly "partner". Not so much here. Besides my doctors and nurses. Family, of course, too since they're transplants from Texas that moved here from Texas many years ago. Still? With in just a few mins here my first day? I had met so many of my neighbors, staff, and office people. All of them are extra friendly. The office lady Terra even placed someone on hold just to greet me, and I didn't even ask nor wished to. I was patient and respected their conversation. That was very considerate in my humble opinion and respectful! I haven't taken any pics, but I will as I go and add them later!
