Noisy, noisy, noist.

Noisy location on the main street in town - if you want quiet, stay away from the riverfront. Room had a nice view of the riverfront, but the windows were so filthy you could hardly see out. Front desk person seemed to be annoyed when a guest showed up for help. Shower handle was about to fall off the faucet because the set screw was about to fall out of the faucet handle. We were woken up at 4:00 am by pounding on our room door which turned out to be the Hannibal Police asking guests if they heard a gunshot in the building.

Average stay

Overall ok stay. The hotel is in a prime area with shops and riverfront activities. The hotel itself was ok. I was a given a different room than what was booked and didn't dispute because we were extremely tired.
