Pros (+) The Location is awesome, you just can’t beat it for the price. For the Price per night I’m not complaining at all but they need to fix up the rooms and clean up the place.
Cons (-) The place is really really - but really old, could use a Serious Remodel - retro room, appliances, bathrooms, furniture etc... everything squeaks when you walk, you can hear everyone in every other room too.

Pros (+) Staff was friendly, but way understaffed,
Cons (-) Old, outdated. Staff was friendly ,but there's just so muct that needs done to the place. Everything was original from the early 60s, except microwave, & small fridge. Waste of time trying to get Internet to work. Terrible picture on satellite TV. Sorry, but I hope this helps someone else avoid the disappointment that we experienced
