Host quickly responded to messages and checked in with us to see if everything was okay. Room was clean, and fit my family of 5 comfortably. It was a bit noisy but we did come for Memorial Day weekend. The vibe of the place was interesting and different from any other hotel (I say it in a good way) because it is older. My daughters loved looking out the window and looking at the views and people down below.
