The location was acceptable. Easy access exists to shopping.
The room lacked any drawers and there were no closets. I found only a small rod on the wall with some hangers. The bathroom sink was way too low. I had to bend way down to brush. Staff told me to email regarding basic inquiries, but there was no reply.
