The balcony is wonderful. Clean. Great Light. The sound of the running river is amazing. Air conditioner and heat worked great even I pretty sure it needs to be replaced as the unit looked to be separating.. check in staff was exceptionally.. my sister couldn’t walk up the steps to the 2nd story, she accommodated us by switching rooms to a first floor unit .

The view from the balcony was the perfect thing, especially first thing in the morning. The staff was incredibly helpful and very friendly. The room was clean and the AC and the heater both worked well. A few minor upgrades are needed to the room, but nothing that would deter me from staying again

The room had a bad odor. There where roach's crawling on tables. Its not in good condition for someone to stay in. We left after the first night and had to get a new hotel. The lady at the desk was no help. It was to worst experience we have ever had at a hotel. I DONT RECCOMEND this place to no one.

Do you research before booking this hotel.

My room had no microwave or refrigerator. The satellite television was awful. There were a little more than a dozen channels and it would freeze up when raining. I won’t be staying here again.
