The room was clean and didn’t have the usual nasty smells from smoking and pets. The breakfast was a bit lacking but was a decent place to sleep.

Overall, the stay was "okay to good". Nothing fancy. Could use some good carpet cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. While I was less than impressed, it met all my needs at a very reasonable price. I will go back. Only complaint is that it is a bit hard to get into due to the traffic layout at the entrance, and, the signage is discreet compared to the surroundings.

DISAPPOINTED

Issue with check-in. There is no back of the hotel. Pictures looked as though if you paid extra for the balcony, it would be looking over the river. Ice machine was out if order. Breakfast wasn't as expected. Can't get into the lobby until 7 to get coffee. All doors to lobby were locked and women said the doors wouldn't open until 7. I needed to check out but couldn't. Was leaving at 6:30am.

Good hotel but unfriendly staff

The hotel was nice and clean; however, the front desk service was not so good. The front desk clerk was not very friendly, even commented that she should have stayed at home that day. The card key to our room stopped working twice, and we had to go to the front desk for assistance. The lady was rude. I am not sure if she was having a bad day or what, but that was no reason to make guests feel like they are a bother when it's YOUR JOB! The second time it stopped working, we left, thinking maintenance would take a look, and the second desk clerk scolded me for not being in my room when they came.

the rooms were very clean and comfortable but really not suitable for seniors or handicapped individuals because of the inconvenience of parking only had 2 handicap parking for 2 cars and they were farther from the hotel than the reg parking. some had to park along the street. parking lots are down around the hotel with limited lighting.breakfast was okay but only had small Styrofoam cups with no lids for hot beverages. location of ice machines were not conveniently located my balcony was not swept and was full of spiders and cobwebs so i didnt get to enjoy the balcony much...the hotel was very clean and beds were comfortable..hotel was more for younger families harder for seniors to getaround

The room had a pile of semen on the floor. There was caked dust all over in the bathroom. The owner came out and watched us unpack our car when we checked in. There was construction being done next door where the pool had a direct view to. The breakfast eggs were salty. Coffee was bad. Didn’t seem like they had any housekeeping except the people that owned the place.

A Nice Getaway

Property is older but very clean. The staff especially at check in were very helpful. The only real negative would be the included breakfast, it was adequate but it seemed strange to not have any fruit offered. Also as a tea drinker there was no hot water available. Not a huge deal but something that could be a quick cheap fix.

We were very disappointed. The beds were very hard. The facility did not match the advertisement and rankings. The views that were in the images online were not found. There was construction that started at 6 am outside our window. There was dust all over the light fixtures and the ceiling looked like it was going to peel off at any time. I was unimpressed with the service. I have stayed in many hotels that serve breakfast and this was by far the worst presentation and taste.
