Outdated

Outdated hotel. Rooms were clean but about 2 decades past prime. Also the doors slammed loudly at night keeping you up. I would try one of the newer motels if I visited again.

I stayed in a Jr. suite and it is worth the money! I love the space, the view and having the wet bar. Made me wish they were back in style; so classy and convenient. Not just for cocktails but for just drinks and having a sink area for snacks.
