We stayed in February during winter, and the windows let freezing air enter the room. One mattress was uncomfortable and made a lot of noise from the springs with the slightest change of position On our last day, we found a small cockroach in the bathroom.

The staff was friendly and attentive. The room was clean. The breakfast was good however, The bagels were stale and when trying to get the eggs and such the lids would not stay up. You should move the plant by the juices and place the plates, bowls, etc for easier access for those who are vertically challenged. Felt on the bottom of the chairs they will move more easily and quieter.

Cold room with loud heater that went on and off intermittently all night. I had an accessible room with a leaky shower. My mobility issues are fine enough that i was able to use it but it was not comfortable. I feel it would be very challenging for someone who uses a wheelchair. I went downstairs and asked to borrow a regular chair for sitting (there wasn’t one in the room) and was told no. It was fine, just not terribly comfortable. The seating area for breakfast was very nice!
