The hotel is very dated and old. However, the room and bathroom was clean. The food at the Summit was average with no taste. The pool was the best part of the vacation.

Nice comfortable stay. The pool was warm and very relaxing; the hot tub and sauna both worked fine. Although not complimentary, the breakfast at the Summit Restaurant was excellent. Beautiful views of the Mississippi River from the west balcony of the hotel. Very nice! Will stay again.
