Room was clean. Hotel was old, needed updating in many areas. My friend and I were on a girls weekend trip, it suited our purpose fine, just in room to sleep.
BED WAS COMFY. STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL KNOWING THE ELEVATOR WAS NOT WORKING. TOOK OUR BAGS TO SECOND FLOOR. ONLY COFFEE IN MORNING NO BREAKFAST. LOW BUDGET HOTEL BUT MET THE BASICS.

This was our second time staying here. We love that the little creek runs behind the property and you can walk down to the Old Mill. It’s a great location for accessibility! The elevator was broken during our stay so be prepared for some stairs. Overall we enjoy staying here.

Very limited parking. Outdated room. Paid for a river view and was told that because i could see the river from the parking lot, i had a river view. Not worth what i paid but overall it was ok.

Disliked: Staff & service
I was refused check in because no pets apparently includes service animals to them.
Good: staff was friendly. Room on end of building had great view of river. Price was affordable.
Bad: Room had musty smell. Elevator did not work. Saw a few bugs.
The first room they gave us smells like smoke and dirty carpet! The second room was better, still had a order to it. Very outdated, the towels were old and small, hairdryer worked for about 3 mins and stopped! Would not recommend to anyone!!
It was a good stay. We found some bugs in our room and told them and they sprayed the room there was some black mold in our room but the people was awesome
