Throwback to the 70’s.

If you like sitting in your parents living room from 1979 then this is your place. Outdated is an understatement. There was more caulk holding the bathroom together than there was bathroom to hold together.

Stay was ok

The hotel was not up to standard. Need to do better cleaning carpet & bathroom. Also the big thing for me was the distance to River City Sportcomplex. On your website, you mentioned 4.2 miles, it was over 10 miles...make the correction as it was the only reason i booked this place.

A good solid hotel. The room and beds were clean and breakfast included the usual continental fair plus eggs, sausage and waffles. The staff was for sure the best part. The front desk staff member was delightful and incredibly helpful, directing us the best way to the nearby sportsplex to avoid tolls and the attendant working the breakfast area was especially helpful and attentive. Thank you!
