The Waterford at Ironbridge

Over all experience has been great. Really the only detractor is the food. The food is great, but there aren't a lot of healthier options it seems. Other than that, our experience has been great, and the staff is easy to work with.

The Waterford

I think the staff is the most wonderful thing, they make it worth living here, and I mean that. Everyone goes above and beyond the call of duty. The business director is the best employee there is. Housekeeping is wonderful, again they go above and beyond for us here.
