I liked the property itself and the room was fine. I did have trouble getting the shades completely shut, and the light pollution impeded my sleep. There were a lot of loud vehicles in the nearby neighborhood as well.

This property is in rough shape. The interior carpets and furniture are worn and outdated. The walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors tv. The bed sheets were yellowing. There is limited parking and the parking available in the back is in an alley and not well lit. My room did not have an exterior window. The pool is in the lobby in front of the elevators and front desk. The "hot" breakfast food was cold.

What can we say! We chose this hotel because of the review responses. The way they invite people not to return over miniscule inconveniences that lead to bad reviews made my day! Our experience was unique. Last minute weekend away and we met Tony! He was an absolute GEM!!!! He met us with hilarity and humor and let us check in a little early since we were exhausted from the drive. Our room wasn’t a river view, (which was not a big deal) actually made sleeping amazing. He gave us a map, gave us all the highlights as to live music for the evening and all the best restaurants. He helped us with tourist attractions of course. Especially since it was off season. We will be back! Mainly because of his charm, wit and above all kindness.

Be careful when you book/pay with a 3rd party sit.

I was charged twice. I told the employee and he said it was a problem for hotel.com and when your employees tried calling him multiple times he didn’t answer so I had to stress out over 24 hours whether I would be out $144! I paid online he should have seen my room was paid for instead of charging my card again! The manager issued a refund but I still have to wait a few days for it. I doubt I stay at that hotel again which is sad because that’s usually our go to when we go to Hannibal.
