View was good. That was it. The room had an Oder and we killed about 5 flea / nat type bugs. Stairs getting up to room were cramped. Entry was through the back door of the restaurant. Very strange setup

Hotel Needs Some Updates

Issues with mold odor in the room as well as the balcony slider would not open. Building is sagging, so doors are difficult to open and someone will eventually get an injury from this. Stairs up to the rooms need a new carpet as the existing carpets is very dark with dirt and oil. People who work at the hotel were exceptionally friendly and professional. They made a positive difference for our stay.
