Drastically functionally obsolete hotel. The room was fine and for the price I have no complaints. I walked outside in an open corridor about 1/4 mile to a room in the back of the hotel- feeling very exposed. I could clearly hear my neighbors on both sides. I did eat at the bar and the salmon tacos were good and the staff wonderful and attentive. The ambiance there along with the tired decor everywhere really dragged the place down.
