I like the location. The exterior of the building needs repairs. The room needs to be updated. Shower / tub is in very poor condition.

Loved the location, the room was clean, breakfast was nice. I sure do hate that the necklace I left in the room was not turned in by the person who was in charge of cleaning the room after we left. Hope they're happy with the necklace my daughter bought for me that is now stolen property.
