I had a 5 star review ready for our stay until...on the 2nd day of our 3 day stay, our room card wouldn't let us into the building. We walked around to the front and I asked the lady working if our card had been deactivated? She raises her voice and says they do not deactivate cards. Well, ok...why is my card deactivated? She proceeds to blame it on the lady who checked us in and only said we were staying 2 nights instead of 3 or it could have been their new system. I wasn't looking for lip and excuses in a very loud voice. I was looking for an apology for the inconvenience of shutting our cards off early. I was very taken aback by this ladies tone with me. I didn't do anything wrong. You all did. Own it!!!

Simple maintenance & cleaning needs attention

This place has real potential, great location, and nice employees. But they need to have a serious talk with maintenance AND housecleaning. We arrived late, and realized the light switch at the door did not turn on a light, so we entered in the dark and found the one lamp/bulb out of 4 that worked; the switches on the lamp appeared to be beaten off, so I told the nice young lady working, because I didn't want to be accused of doing the damage. Told her we were fine with one light, because it was late and we were tired. I noticed it appeared that towel racks, lamp shades and a few other places were extremely dusty like they had not been touched in a long, long time. My husband wanted a shower, and realized the shower head didn't work and I planned to take one in the am, so that was another trip to the desk. She moved us to another room; most of the lights and the shower worked (we checked before unpacking this time); but the towel racks & lamp shades still excessively dusty and dirty. None of these are hard things to fix; hopefully they will take attention to these simple matters very quickly!!

Hannibal weekend

The only negative was the humidity in the walkways. There is a pool open to the whole interior of the hotel. The humidity is off the charts. The parking is very convenient. The restaurant across the street is cheap and good. Downtown is 2 blocks away. Lots of antique stores and restaurants within walking distance. We were overall very happy with this hotel. Request the 3rd floor for a view of the Mississippi River.
