Very disappointed! The photos for one make it look like a resort, it was not. I called before reserving and was told we would have an inside room close to the breakfast and pool as I brought my handicap parent. We were by the main road at far end of the hall, no Inside the hotel rooms they were all pull up and park curb hotel rooms.

I liked the idea of later hours for swimming pool. The river walk area was relaxing, area to sit. Plenty of elevators to get you anywhere in hotel area. Room was clean. Pillows were small but firm. TV had a channel guide. Location of hotel easy to get to. Kerps you out of the huge lines in town. Learn all the back roads to get ahead of traffic. Walkable to nice restaurants and attractions. The lay out of hotel is a bit confusing. Internet didn't work well in my room.

Excellent place for the price, good location and walkable to many activities and shops. Good pool and hot tub area, layout of the property isn’t ideal but that wasn’t really a big deal, the river behind the parking lot was nice to go and enjoy being outdoors at. Would absolutely stay again.

Well for the money it was okay. There are a lot of ducks and geese in the back parking lot which brings a lot of poop. You have to dodge a lot of land mines. They did try to clean up throughout the day which was nice. The hotel is out dated. She needs some love. The breakfast room set up is weird and causes a line to form. Food was not good nor a good selection. No fresh fruit, only yogurt, eggs, sausage, toast, cereal, biscuits and gravy. Nothing else. We went one morning only. It was advertised to have EV parking which it does not. The front desk manager laughed at me when I asked about it. He said the hotel is too old and I should not have that expectation? The rooms are dark, dank, and moist. You can feel the moisture and humidity on the comforter and bed sheets when you lay down. Housekeeping did not come in to clean, they dropped off towels and left. No beds were made for the entire 3 night stay. Location is good. Pool was overly chlorinated and not well ventilated so the kids only played for about 20 minutes before they complained about
