"The room was comfortable. A/C worked properly. The bathroom does not have a shower but a high step in bathtub with no grab bar where to hold on to get inside or out. The glass door on the bathtub moves so cannot be used to hold on. Not safe for older people. The bathroom always has a peculiar smell. Parking was good under building. Overall a good place to stay.
