It waa a place to lay our heads for the night. Beds aren't that comfortable however for a one night stay it was okay. Half the vending machines didn't work nor had product. Coffee wasn't bad. Worst part is the bathroom door was glass and didn't want to close. No exhaust fan in the bathroom either. Embarrassing if you need to use the bathroom with friends in the main room.

The whole experience is a bad job of lipstick on a pig. Unclean, strange upgraded bits but overall a hotel in 1980 condition, not smelling well, call it Riverfront but has no view at any moment. Felt duped

Overall, our stay at the hotel was excellent in every aspect. From the comfortable rooms to the exceptional service, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. However, there was one discrepancy with the Google listing that was disappointing. The listing mentioned an indoor pool, which was the main reason for our booking, but upon arrival, we discovered they only had an outdoor pool. Despite this oversight, we decided to stay, and it turned out to be a great experience regardless. We hope the hotel can address this issue with their Google listing to avoid similar disappointments for future guests.

Paid parking. Dated facility.
It was as clean as it could be given how dated things were. Service was good. I mistook “parking available” for free parking, it was not, my mistake but obnoxious all the same given the overall experience to cost ratio. Only negative about the room was the bathroom door was a sliding door, didn’t fully close or lock. Not a big deal but again, I expected more for the cost

Though efforts to update the facility, particularly the bathrooms have been made, the overall feel was dated. It is difficult to keep carpeting looking fresh and the beds were soft. The staff was very accomodating during a tornado siren, helping us shelter in the basement and offering free drinks.
