Parking was fine. There was no kitchen, only s mi crowave sitting on a small refrigerator in a closet with the hot water tank. And a coffee maker you could put on the microwave to use if you unplugged the microwave because there was only one outlet.

Perfect location, but that is the only good thing about the place and maybe the staff including the cleaning lady who is onsite (don’t ask why) Entire place needs a full remodeling. Uncontrollable HVAC. Would totally ignore any temperature setting. Bathroom musky smell. Limited amount of kitchenware, questionable cleanliness.
