MerryWood on Park in Charlotte, NC
4.1

I am currently a resident at MerryWood on Park and most everything has been very good for me here, so far. The food is great! The cleanliness and friendliness are good. The staff is also good. The value for cost is great, also. Based on my experience so far, I would recommend MerryWood on Park to others.
