Lady at the front desk was kind and helpful. Went out of her way when we had a problem with a tour bus not showing up. Was able to get an Uber to meet the tour bus somewhere else and did not miss our tour we planned many months in advance.

Tired old place, room & facilities are pretty rundown.
Noisy plumbing. Looks like zero maintenance for years.
