Overpriced. It took 2 hours to get checked in. Our room was in annex building. So we had to walk in the rain to the main building.

Room was nice and clean. Was not told my room was not ready, found out when I went to the room. However, housekeeping staff were understanding and cleaned it right away once I told them I had to be somewhere within the hour.

The location is great. Very convenient to town and walkable. Restaurants, shops, and museums are within a few blocks. Every staff member we encountered was polite and friendly, and check-in was efficient. Coming with young children, our group really appreciated the indoor and outdoor pools as well as the good-sized lobby where we could get together. The beds were comfortable and appeared clean. The less positives: parking on a busy weekend is ridiculous. We were only able to park in the hotel lot about half the time. We were never able to get pool towels when we swam. Breakfast was meager and healthy options even more so. The milk I added to my coffee was lumpy. Our bathtub drained really slowly, gross water was in the coffee maker reservoir, and an item from a previous guest was left in our room. We stayed over Tom Sawyer Days, which is a very busy weekend in Hannibal, so that may have exacerbated the issues, but staying on that weekend costs $200 a night and so I’d expect a little more.

Convenient and within easy walking distance of just about every attraction in Hannibal. - lots of restaurants to choose from. Easy parking. The hotel is rather unique in that the pool and hot tub is open and located adjacent to the lobby. Very convenient, but the chlorine odour can be strong at times.
