Plenty of well-lit parking. Room was very clean and adequate, except the air conditioner did not work. Night manager could not fix it. So room got stuffy and warm (ground floor so I don't leave windows open). Didn't sleep well. No one in the office at 8 a.m. for check-out, so I could not tell anyone to fix it.
