Here's our experience. 1) Dinner: To house our group off 22 people, we were in the Rise conference room. Despite being a conference room, they set it up well. Tables had white clothes and fancier silverware. A little bar was set in the back serving cocktails, wine, beer, etc. A small buffet line was off to one side with delicious food. There was a salad, warm rolls with butter, mac and cheese, broccolini with garlic confit, fried chicken, and short ribs. For dessert, there was banana pudding and chocolate pie. Everything was excellent! To drink, servers kept our cups filled with ice water or sweet tea. 2) Space: The entire center is new and beautifully designed. Take the time to wander and see the grand staircase. Don't miss the library where you can learn more about EJI's work. Inside is a door to the Reflection Garden and a theatre to watch EJI videos.

But when you are traveling, generally people are from all over, including northern states where they don't like to sleep in that kind of Temperature. Unfortunately, I did not realize this until I was completely unpacked including medical equipment. The hotel offered to move me but it was just an inconvenience for me at that point. And if that were the only thing I wouldn't mind. But lightbulbs were out, my television remote batteries were low so there was a big delay on switching channels. Also, the built-in drawers in the room would not stay shut. You would close them and they would roll out. This is something the cleaning staff obviously would have known about and should have gotten maintenance to fix. Also had stink bugs in room. Overall it's not a horrible hotel, but it is old and is in need of restyling.

I was unfamiliar with this area and hadn't realized this was such a bad neighborhood. The hotel is…read morefine, but the area is not safe. As soon as we arrived we hadn't even gotten out of the car yet and a panhandler approached. He stood beside my door and said, "Hey mama you wanna give me some money?" and then stood there so close that I couldn't even open my door. We found out there is a homeless camp next door, and it seems that approaching the hotel guests to ask for money is a regular occurrence. This hotel has been renovated and our queen room was very nice. It was small, but clean and the shower was clean. I wouldn't really recommend staying in this hotel due to panhandling in the parking lot. Hotel guests shouldn't have to dodge people asking for money just to get from their cars to the hotel entrance.

The stay was acceptable but, the day after I left, a $250 Misc. charge was added to the bill and…read moredebited from my bank.

The occupants of the adjacent unit were blocking the shared entrance, drinking heavily, and behaving loudly in a way that made the environment feel unsafe. I left immediately without ever entering the property. I contacted the hosts right away. Rather than addressing the situation meaningfully, they asked whether I had taken photos and stated they would only consider a refund if I canceled and they were able to rebook the unit. Canceling would also have prevented me from leaving this review. The hosts claimed it was safe to return, but I was not willing to risk my safety. Travelers should understand this is not a quiet or secure environment, and the hosts were unwilling to take responsibility when serious concerns were raised.

First, I want to talk about the landlord (AKA the totally awesome guy you will be #BLESSED to rent…read morefrom). Josh Fields was nothing short of amazing. If there were some kind of award I could nominate him for, I'd not only nominate him, but also run his campaign to ensure he'd win. He was always very accommodating and just an all-around super nice guy. He always went above and beyond to get/do/be anything we needed while we stayed with him. For example: We had a noisy neighbor above us who had a home gym area above our bedroom. Josh spoke to her for us on several occasions and when it became clear that she was not even going to attempt to be quieter, he then helped us move to another apartment directly across the hall that did not have an upstairs neighbor. How amazing is that? We originally had problems getting our mail delivered. Josh went to the post office for us since we slept during the day (we were working the night shift at a local hospital) to straighten out the problem. The problem was fixed the very next day. On one occasion, we had an amazon package go missing from the porch. Not to fear! Josh replaced the missing item! The accommodations Josh made for us as night-shift workers were over the top! He purchased blackout curtains for the entire house. He also made sure the other tenants knew we would be sleeping during the day. Anytime we needed maintenance (which wasn't often) he was sure to schedule the appointments for when we wouldn't be sleeping so as not to disturb us. Also, just to throw this out there. Josh made sure we had a king-size bed so that my 6'5 fiancé's feet wouldn't be hanging off the end of the bed. Now, let's move on to the apartments. We stayed in two of Josh's places while we were in Montgomery. Both were old homes that had been renovated and beautifully decorated. There are lots of big windows that let in a lot of natural light all through the houses. There are also security cameras at both the front and back doors. Anything that can be said about one apartment can also be said about the other. There were loads of amenities: -- Small, but full kitchen. Complete with full size fridge, toaster, Keurig coffee maker (with kcups, creamer, sugar, honey, to-go disposable coffee cups, etc.), microwave, dishes, silverware, pots and pans, stove, oven, all manner of cooking utensils, cleaning products, and much more. Unfortunately, no dishwasher or icemaker. Very limited counter space and storage. -- Economy washer and dryer. This was a stacked set in the kitchen. It was rather small and took a lot of loads to wash a week's worth of scrubs for 2 people. But again, Josh had everything you could need to do laundry. Unstoppables, dryer sheets, stain remover, detergent pods, Febreez, etc. -- The bathroom, again, was small. No counter space. Not really enough room for two people to get ready at the same time. The shower was nice and the water pressure was okay. There was a really cool bodywash, shampoo, and conditioner dispenser mounted to the wall in the shower that was full of product. There was no need to buy toilet paper. Seriously, I do not think we bought any the entire 6 months we were there. Josh had the bathroom stocked with a Costco sized pack of the finest TP money can buy. There were also a set of towels and washcloths that were good quality. -- The living room had a flat screen smart TV mounted above the fireplace with Netflix, Hulu, Sling TV, Amazon Video, and some other apps for guests to enjoy. The couches were SO COMFORTABLE as were the loveseats. There was a desk with a lamp and desk chair off to the side. Unfortunately the fireplace was not functional. We brought our electric heater that looks like a fireplace and put it in the hole where wood would go in a real one. It ended up looking really nice. -- The living room led out to a sunroom/enclosed front porch area. There were chairs and a table out there where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset or sunrise, if you're that kind of person. Oh, and the wine I mentioned? Yeah, Josh gives you a bottle to welcome you to your new home. -- Each apartment had two bedrooms. The bedrooms were tastefully decorated with designer rugs, wall art, etc. and were beautifully furnished with Ashley Home bedroom suites. One had a king bed while the other had a queen. The closets were a little on the small side, but both rooms had large dressers for extra storage. We really enjoyed our time here and could not have asked for anything better from Josh. He was exceptional and we will definitely rent from him again in the future should our travel nursing careers take us close to one of his properties.

This is the first escape room that I actually experienced true team building. I usually do an…read moreescape room when my one friend and I get together in the same area. However, when we were here for our conference we had a bunch of people coming together and wanting to do something together. On this trip, we visited here twice. We escaped twice. To note, it wasn't the same group each time I visited, but it was a nice mix of people that we really enjoyed ourselves. When we booked, we just booked for two people to kind of reserve the room. The additions paid when they showed up to the facility. Upon our first go round here, we were early. We joked that we would love to have a drink while in here. The staff promptly told us that we can partake in alcohol and that if we wanted to get a drink we could go to one of the nearby restaurants or the liquor store up the block. We did a quick run and were set free into our rooms for each respective room. Seeing my colleagues and friends coming together to bust out of a room was amazing. We were able to figure out the clues and once we were organized into teams inside the room, we defeated each of them. Escape rooms are a fun thing to do, whether you escape or not. We really enjoyed these ones at this locations and if time would have permitted, we would have taken on more.

We found this cabin on VRBO and vacationed here twice, so far. Incredibly nice owners and a…read morebeautiful house. It's not right on the lake, but up on a hill above the owners' house. But that shouldn't be and hasn't been a problem. There's an included six-passenger golf cart to ride down the hill and back up (and I guess to ride anywhere else, although there's really nowhere else to go within golf cart range). The house itself is more than a cabin. It is three levels of wood-walled beauty, inside and out. The main floor has a remote-controlled gas fireplace, a smallish TV and sound system, and several recliners. There is a dinette table with seating for maybe 8 and a kitchen with an island. The main bedroom is here, with no en suite bathroom...you have to leave the master bedroom to pee. But it is a large bedroom with east- and south facing windows. The lake is to the north. Outside, towards the lake, there's a protected wooden deck with a bench and a very large patio table and chairs. A screen door leads out to the gas grill and front porch. Heading up, there is a loft with two twin-sized beds hanging from chains. I never slept in these, incredibly. There's a desk area at the top of the stairs, overlooking the main level and a small balcony that looks south. Nothing too exciting here. There's a stairwell on the main level down to the lower level that begins right outside of the door to the main level bathroom and bedroom. I was never drunk enough to accidentally tumble down it, but beware this navigational hazard. And if you are taller than maybe 6'0" (I'm 6'4" and had to duck quite a bit), you need to proceed with caution, as the 90-degree turn to the left halfway down has a low clearance. The downstairs has a large common area, with a couch, big TV, gaming console, and a kitchenette with fridge. There's also a bathroom with a cool glass block shower. A bedroom with double bunk beds has a utility room with a washer and dryer...these come in handy if you'll be here for more than a couple of days. Head outside on the bottom level and you'll find a pleasant area with a fire pit (and supplied and seasoned wood), a wooden deck with a picnic table, which is covered by the wooden deck of the main floor. A concrete walk curves around and up to the parking area and main floor porch. The main floor porch has some comfy, rustic, wooden rocking chairs that are ideal for sitting in, drinking coffee, and appreciating a quiet morning. This is also how you enter the cabin when you get here. Overall, our two stays here were great. We'll be back, at some point. If you are looking to visit the area, check it out. [I took about a hundred pictures of this place and uploaded them previously, but I deleted them afterwards and they no longer show up. Sorry!]
