6/10 Good

The view from the back of the hotel was great. The parking is limited, best in best dress. The place has had some updates but looks like they haven’t done anymore since doing them last time we stayed there which was over 5 years ago. The steps to get to the back top rooms need fixing, felt unsafe and rusted. The hotel room doesn’t look like it gets clean, old and used shampoo bottles left, dirty dishes .
