Promised a lot of things when looking at the rooms but when it actually happened, none of the promises materialized. Do I recommend this place,,,,,,, NO !!

Have family members there and they said all they got for Thanksgiving supper was a terrible turkey stew 🤬 Everyone I was told was complaining about how terrible the food is lately. Very disappointed in the meal planning for people that are paying a huge amount every single month.
