Excellent experience. Welcomed by an excellent host Joel. He made sure our accommodations were perfect. The Colombian Restaurant on the premises was delicious.

The hotel and the room are old and not completely renovated. The bathtub has chips and the glass mirror over sink has cracks. The room has view of the river but it also has a railroad track right outside of the room. There were cargo trains passed by 2 or 3 times during the night and the rumbling noise made hard to sleep. Overall it was not a pleasant stay.

This was more of a Motel rather than Hotel - outside room entrance - overpriced for what you get - super humid and clammy inside the room due to no weather stripping around the door - the toilet was actually in the shower in the room we had, soooo odd. Onsite restaurant had very limited hours and the dessert menu had only 3 things on it and one was Tiramisu ugh. The staff was very friendly - check-in was smooth. Owners need to reinvest some of the $$$ they are overcharging to buy some paint and do general maintenance. First and last time I will book here.

Staff was very friendly. Joel was great on check in and out. Not a hotel but more of a motel but we felt it was nice and comfortable. We had to walk up stairs which for older people might not be ok but maybe a first floor room would be available. We were 2 couples 80 and 72.

This hotel worked fine for a few nights. It’s definitely a motel not a hotel. In a convenient location, clean and staff was friendly. The beds were comfy and room was a good size. The bar didn’t open on first night due to someone not showing up which was disappointing. Otherwise, a pleasant stay for the price.
