Old but comfortable

The building is old and rough in places, but the room and the beds were comfortable. The outer stairs are kind of terrifying to carry a suitcase up, so definitely use the ones by the office for that! The employees we interacted with were great and very helpful. A good value for the cost and the view can’t be beat!
