Disappointed
We dont mind vintage, but the exterior really needs some work around the property to be even close to the high price. Some remodeling has been done inside it seems, but we didnt think it felt clean due to the dirty baseboards in corner, gross black caulking in tub, holes in walls, etc. This was at best a $75/ night room.

Upgrades look nice and functional. Very clean. Nice bathroom. A/C fan a little noisy, but acceptable. Would stay again someday.
