Parking was a bit far away from the unit, especially for my husband who has mobility issues. Also there were broken bottles on the driveway so concerned about security of car. Units were very clean and the bed was a king size so that was great. Inside kitchen and bathroom units were a bit tired. Kitchen was a bit under supplied with equipment
