Earlier in the day I called and requested a room close to the elevator and was told it would not be a problem. My wife and I are handicapped and struggle with long walks. The person who checked us in did not care about my request and gave us a room furthest from the elevator.

Liked: Staff & service
(-) Some electrical outlets were loose. Room was not ready after I checked in. Floor still wet. Stairwell had slight smell of urine. (-) No restaurants or drive -thru places open near hotel area after 10pm. (+) Manager and housekeeper (very friendly) were very helpful. (+)Availability of parking spaces visible from my room. (- and +) Somewhat seedy location but there were a lot of cameras viewable from check-in office. Also saw two security folks doing patrols of hotel area.
Manager fixing TV although not requested or needed by guest. He did help me set up room WiFi while he was there.
