Bathroom dirty, floor left feet and baby hands all black. Pubes on towels, tub dirty and bathroom over all dirty. Tv didn't work and lights. Only one light by the balcony worked. I told the receptionist and all they said was "oh sorry".

For the price not worth the stay and made me sad because I liked the front desk and staff immediately. The rooms are stark, lampshades broken and dirty, balcony full of bird mess and the sidewalks and stairs are dirty, paint chipping and exterior needs major paint work. No outlets near beds, loud walking in the Hala’s and rooms around. So bummed because location is super cute.

Not worth the money.

For 1 night we survived. This is a motel in a good area with a resturant. It is old, outdated, light bulbs out, and tile floors dirty. No usb charging ports. But fine for a short stay. I wouldn't stay there again.
