I stayed here as a traveling nurse. The unit was old, but doable. The unit came fully furnished with a couch, tv, dining table, kitchen appliances and utensils, and a bed. Residents were kind and welcoming. The pool was nice as well as the fitness center. Also the breakfast nook that’s included in rent was pretty nice most days. I gave 3 stars because I worked night shift and I felt like the facility could have cared less. I was woken up during the day while sleeping for work multiple times. Renovations were done on the suite next to mine and they were drilling the floor. When I called to say something it was just a “Oh, sorry. Renovations should be done in a couple days!” Additionally, they have cleaning every other week for the apartment. That would be fine if housekeeping cared about people that worked nights. Housekeeping would come in whether there was a “do not disturb” sign out on the door or not. While days and times were given to choose from, most of the days I was offered were days I had to work that night. The times were anywhere from 0800 to 3pm in the afternoon. Most of which I would be sleeping to go into work. The few times I sent housekeeping away so I could sleep in peace was met with a text saying units have to be cleaned on their scheduled days. I don’t think it would have been a problem to stay here if I was working dayshift. But the lack of care directed at me when I was just trying to protect my sleep due to the fact that I work in an ICU and need my rest to adequately take care of patients rubbed me the wrong way. This is one of the main reasons I left and found a different accommodation.
