"Parking was inconvenient if you get a room numbered in the 200s. Access to these rooms require entry through a door from outside. The general door is locked in the evening preventing you coming in from the outdoors and yr room key will not work for this door. It is pitch black with no lights when you try to find yr way to yr room from outside-creepy. No elevator, 2 steep flight of stairs-not good for seniors/disabled to lug yr luggage."
