Vacation for rod run

To start off I would give more stars if I could for the service the staff provided during our stay. Yes this is an older hotel and I kept that in mind. So for that it was clean and comfortable. The bed was a bit harder than I like but that is a personal preference. The elevator was out during our stay but the managers of the hotel were very helpful in getting our luggage up and down during check in and check out. We had one of the updated rooms so we had hard floors vs some of the rooms having carpet which I also like as it does help the room feel cleaner to me. This hotel is also in a great location to everything.

The view of the river was fantastic. I would take my lunch down there and go eat it. I did walk to the trolley station every day. There is shops there at the old mill. You can choose to eat at the old Mill restaurant if you want to I don’t know the prices of it.

Perfect stay for Labor Day Weekend!

Perfect stay for our weekend! Room was very comfortable, just needed some air freshener for some mustiness. Beds and pillows were as comfy as an expensive hotel. Shower was perfect with a large shower head. Only issue was not being able to extend our stay through hotels.com. It was still affordable to add the night before Labor Day ($72 with taxes and fees). We would stay here again for sure!

2025 review - i've stayed before with good experiences, but this has gone downhill since then I guess. Our room smelled of cigarette smoke so bad that it stank up our clothes. I messaged the hotel complaining and said if it couldn't air out we would have to leave. Nothing changed, we checked out a night early and were denied a refund for the night we didn't stay. Wouldn't stay again, wouldn't recommend you stay here if you value an actually smoke-free room. Go elsewhere.

Seems more residential than a motel. Many people on the balcony smoking and meetings going on in the parking lot. Shower curtain and toilet paper holders falling out of the wall. A/C, fridge and microwave worked well. Vending machines were empty. Not enough parking.

The pictures online of this hotel did not look like anything like the actual site. The beds were very uncomfortable. No blankets, just the thin cover used for decor. No coffee pot in the room. The coffee in the lobby was old with no sweetener options. The toilet paper holder was missing, so the paper was stuck on the side of the the rack. Old, outdated decor. Due to my mother being disabled and the elevator out of order, I was not able to have the river view room I booked. Very little parking available.
