I wanted to love this place because it has a designated play area for young children, which initially seemed perfect for my one-year-old. Unfortunately, the condition of that space was incredibly disappointing.
The toys, books, and children's table were visibly dirty. The toy bin contained not only dusty toys, but also trash, old plastic scraps, and pieces of paper. The fabric storage bin itself looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time.
Concerned about my daughter playing in that environment, I spent time wiping down the toys and table, throwing away the obvious trash, and organizing the books. The paper towels were black with dirt after cleaning.
Instead of appreciating the effort, a staff member (a blonde woman) confronted me, condescendingly scolded me for cleaning the play area, and warned that I could be banned if I did it again. I explained that my daughter had been sneezing repeatedly because of the dust and that some of the items mixed into the toys were not safe for children. Despite that, the bin containing the dirty toys and trash was placed right back into the play area.
The lack of cleanliness was concerning enough, but the way the situation was handled by management was even more disappointing. We won't be returning, but at least we left the children's area cleaner than we found it. read more
