When we contacted the building/property manager they said the elevator is an amenity. I contend that for ADA purposes we should have been offered a lower level location or they should have kept it better maintained. We left early because we couldnt move freely around the property. The water temp for the shower, dishes and washing clothes was barely cool, bordered on cold. I contacted them.about it and they responded with, "we will get back with you", but i havent heard anything since. I will NOT be going back. Location great, cleanliness great, view great. But this building is obviously old. ##### Dyan H.
