Not only was this place spotless but it had the aroma of bleach, just want I like to smell when I walk into a Rec Center..talk about setting the standard. The outside grounds were pretty nice too, I noticed the paths, tennis courts, and playground. While I don't plan on having that emergency again, I appreciate the hospitality.
