RATING:
1:ACCURACY OF DIRECTIONS: 5. Excellent, plus the signs helped a lot.
2:EASE OF ACCESS TO CG: 5. I will have to say that while we were there, it was just a little difficult but that was because of a temporary problem. They are in the process of replacing the blacktop on the road in front of the office. However, that should be done in the next week or so
3:NATURAL BEAUTY OF CG: 5. It is a very pretty park, you can tell that they have gone out of their way to try and maintain as many trees as possible.
4:FRIENDLINESS/HELPFULNESS OF EMPLOYEES AND/OR OWNERS: 4. The people here were great, however, I was a little disappointed when we asked about tickets and they just said we could use the phone in the lobby. I got the impression from their ad that they would take care of that for us.
5:OVERALL CONDITION OF CG & FACILITIES: 5. Everything was spotless. The laundry has a coded security door so you can go anytime you want. Also, there is a TV in the laundry (for us po' folk who don't have no TV)
6:EASE OF EGRESS: 5. Very simple to get out of.
