Hotel is a dorm for dozens of construction workers and mine workers. Doors open as they wander from room to room laughting and drinking until late into the night. At 10:30 I asked them to take their loud foul conversations elsewhere and they moved to another area. Pitty that guest. Limited hotels in the area drive the price over what you would pay in Hawaii.

We are crippled (use canes) and had to walk a LONG way, just to find out where the ice machine was. There seemed to be only one and it was not close. Other than that, stay was okay. Not great.
