Room 393 has some serious plumbing issues, when reported staff stated they wpuld see what they could do then nothing happened. The flooring in the bathroom moves and is falling apart. Not to mention the shower didnt drain and my daughter slipped in the shower because it backed up so much.

Easy to get to from the interstate and plenty of parking. Not much else around the hotel other than a casino. Pool was big but not overly clean since the doors were open, hot tub was closed for unknown safety reasons. Breakfast area is pretty small and was packed on a Monday morning.

Although in an older area, hotel was clean. Staff seemed like they were over worked and under paid but polite and helpful. Walking path by the river was available but safety was questionable and needed lighting at night. Overall, no issues and good stay. Loved the free transport to Farrahs for the concert we attended.
