The location is FANTASTIC!! And they know it. That’s why they will get away with a hotel that has more the vibe of an hostel and an hotel. The room is very small. Almost no storage. Bathroom and sink tiny. Old doors, old floors, old everything. No breakfast. High price for what it is and you have to pay additional ($45) to park a car.
The should put a bit more effort and pride on this place, not just rely on the great location.
They are in need of renovation. Badly
Very dated property and the pictures do not really share what's going on. Cement staircase. Not very professional staff. But awesome location and big rooms.
