Didn’t like the theme room. It was childish. Someone was vacuuming at midnight. Could hear pool noise until the pool closed. The parking in the back was not labeled at all. Had to enter thru a park and no signage said anything about hotel parking.

Nice, clean roadside stay with great staff.

This place had an amazing staff. They were very friendly and genuinely seemed to care. The place is a tad out of date and seems to run on a budget, but the place seemed loved. Each of the rooms are decorated differently in little funky themes, but is well done. It looks like someone took a lot of thought and time to make it special. The breakfast was fine and our stay was good as well. It was a nice, clean roadside stay.

The hotel is very clean and front desk staff were friendly during our check in process. To our surprise, each of the rooms are decorated with a unique theme. Our room was music themed and was done very tastefully. The hotel is right next to the river and has a park, pier area to walk to the river front. It’s also located in town, so we were able to walk into town to a local sports bar and watch some games. We would definitely stay here again, if ever in the area.
