It was cool to have a balcony, however interstate 75 is way too close and is noisy all night due to lack of noise isolation. Hotel is nice In general, clean tidy and mostly up to date.

So we found out from a former employee 2 women were sexually assaulted in the hotel in February "security" said they thought they were fighting. So they did nothing and the pool was completely covered in algae and freezing cold. Ended up leaving early and going to another hotel across town.

You had to pay for breakfast so we did not participate with that. They charged my credit card when I was supposed to pay at the property. They did it beforehand. The bathroom was just horrible and it’s so much to repair couldn’t even hardly flush the toilet. Our dresser was three drawers that look like a desk. It is not up to good standards at all. It’s it’s a riverfront property. It is not a riverfront property. You have to look across a whole bunch of buildings to see the water. It’s old. It needs a lot of work. I’m very disheartened. We had a lot of places that we could’ve chosen to stay at. we chose there and I am beyond disappointed that they don’t have enough staff in their bar in restaurant. We had to wait forever to get food and drinks, not a happy camper I don’t hardly ever go on vacation and I was expecting a lot more out of the Radisson brand and was very unimpressed!!
