Good stay. Hotel is a little dated but rooms are clean. Male front desk clerk was a bit nosy at check in wanting all kinds of personal details he shouldn't be asking about. Also the homeless/meth heads in the parking lot at night was a little concerning but overall a good stay.

Dated facility but clean overall. Room size was decent. No place to plug USB cables in to charge iPhones or laptops so make sure you have ac adapters. Will be nice to see waterfall if they get it going again. Plenty of parking but could use more lighting, especially farther from the building. Overall nice considering the price.

While the hotel is going through a remodel, so i understand a bit of disorganization. The room wasnt the cleanest, in that it hasnt been occupied for a minute so there was dust and a leaky faucet. It was comfortable, though! And the staff were an ABSOLUTE delight. Tyler checked us in, and Ive never had a kinder or more informative desk attendant. He was THE BEST. The lady and gentleman in the moening were just as nice! They really made the stay pleasant.

It’s was ok, not great but better than motel 6. The bed was a bit rough. No black out shades in the room so you will be getting up at sunrise. No cleaning service and I was there for four nights. Staff was friendly tho.

The glass elevator is wonderful; it gives the hotel a feeling of bygone grandeur. My son thought the beds were very comfy. The bathroom door got stuck and if someone was in the room alone, they might be trapped. The front desk man didn’t seem too concerned when we told him it should be looked at. The breakfast was cheap but provided decent options.
