Everything was ok except for the road noise and hearing everybody's conversation as they walked by. If town wasn't quiet from 9pm-5am this was have been horrible. Bed was comfortable. Bacon, eggs and sausage were good in the morning.

Hotel is a dorm for dozens of construction workers and mine workers. Doors open as they wander from room to room laughting and drinking until late into the night. At 10:30 I asked them to take their loud foul conversations elsewhere and they moved to another area. Pitty that guest. Limited hotels in the area drive the price over what you would pay in Hawaii.

We are crippled (use canes) and had to walk a LONG way, just to find out where the ice machine was. There seemed to be only one and it was not close. Other than that, stay was okay. Not great.
