Read the negative reviews and still stayed 4 night

I was skeptical about booking after reading reviews however with the price being so good we stayed anyways. The hotel is old ans d it shows, but its clean. The rooms are updated but still show wear and tear. The beds are very comfortable!! Plenty of towels etc. Basic room. The sheets had rips in them, i contacted the front desk so they woupd know we didnt cause the rips. They have an incidental sheet and will charge you for damages. The housekeeping is great, very helpful and we really liked them. The pool is absolutely wonderful. The fire pit needs to be reserved so tell the front desk. Its fun we had a good time after swimming late. The breakfast is very small just fyi.The coffee is ok.There is a grocery store nextdoor that has excellent breakfast and lunch, dinner. Its a deli. BETTY'S, remember that! The hotel is in walking distance to the river, shops, restaurants. Very happy with the location. We will be back!!

Staff that checked us in were amazing and friendly! However, as soon as you walk into the room, it’s a stale clammy room that smells very strong of mop solution. Then as you walk into the bathroom, the tiles on the roof have mold spots. Once you walk out of the bathroom, you could smell a smell that took our breath away, just trying to cover it up with strong smelling cleaning products. There is no LOCK on our door, broken off. You can see the sunlight coming through the door as well. Now you can step outside the front door to weed and cigarette smoke, people yelling at the people In the pool from the 2nd floor as they do shot guns of beer and throw the empty bottles behind the building. AC was not working, it was hot and moist. We stayed a total of 5 mins and I had to get my baby and my mother out of there. I returned my key, I was asked if I wanted another room or to have them ask the people to leave. I kindly declined as I’m not feeling safe and he just told me that he has to ask those questions. They declined my refund, going to the bank tomorrow to see what I can do since I was scared for my safety and my family’s safety. Expedia also did nothing and did not try to help. I went across the street to a beautiful clean hotel and they told me how this property is filled with the wrong crowd. Be careful booking with Expedia, they do not care about you and your safety. Staff is great but owners should be down right ashamed!!!!

Great space-lots of parking and beds. I like the outdoor pool. One side of curtain was 6 inches shorter than the window, so the light shone through and offered little privacy. The doors and light switches were dirty. Great location. It looks like they are in the process of upgrading which is nice.
