Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
No daily room service during 3 day stay, Exterior of facility looks good but interior condition is marginal at best. Bathroom shows rot around end of bathtub and adjacent vanity. Wals discolored. Upon arrival found stink bug and roach inside the room. Killed and removed them from interior of room, Locking mechanism to door leading to balcony has been broken and not properly repaired. Part of door frame appears split from forced entry, Parking was very adequate and exterior of facility was clean and appeared well maintained. Biggest disappointment was no daily room service throughout our stay. We had to go to front desk to obtain coffee packets and clean towels and wash cloths. I would not recommend this hotel.

The room was very nice. However, both sinks leaked and the toilet rocked. There was no chair for the desk, I had to use the seating chair. Overall a nice stay. The balcony overlooked the river and was a nice place to sit peacefully.

The staff was hard to find. The phone was ringing off the hook and nobody was around the front desk to answer it or check us in. I was told the room did not have a fridge or microwave so I asked if there was another room available and without checking she just said no. There is no breakast but I want to the lobby for coffee in the morning and the hotel staff did not even respond to my Good Morning. The room was very musty and lead us to believe there was water damage somewhere. The doors also did not close properly. The ice maker next to our room was out of order. The balcony off the back had a nice view of the river.

The balcony is wonderful. Clean. Great Light. The sound of the running river is amazing. Air conditioner and heat worked great even I pretty sure it needs to be replaced as the unit looked to be separating.. check in staff was exceptionally.. my sister couldn’t walk up the steps to the 2nd story, she accommodated us by switching rooms to a first floor unit .
