"Great view, had a fridge and actual sink and friendly staff. But hotel seems a little outdated. Still uses a key to unlock the door, no key card, no ac but had a ceiling fan and a standing fan, and parking was tight had a little trouble getting out of my stall. And drop off key to check out no check out person until 8am"
