Clean room, small but nice heated pool. Staff were very welcoming but gruff at check out.
Room was comfortable and recently renovated although the ceiling plaster was flaking. Good shower pressure which is always a good thing! Would recommend .
We love staying here,the hotel is always so clean the staff is always friendly and as a single mom that travels with her kids I feel very safe at this hotel

Second stay at this place and it has the environment that we love. Decent rooms with a great spot to watch the river and wildlife. Had a bald eagle fly above our heads while sitting outside. #america

The room and everywhere we went inside the motel was extremely clean and smelled nice. You can tell they try to go above and beyond at this hotel. One of the best hotel experiences I've ever had.

While the room was cheap, the hotel felt really run down. We stayed there 7 years ago and it didn’t feel this way. While I won't say don't go, since to room was fine and bed wasn't uncomfortable, just be aware if the cost is higher than 100 dollars. Some staff were nice but most didn’t talk to anyone.
Overall decent place to stay, river was pretty and it was very close to all tourist attractions. Staff was nice, breakfast was okay but there is an AMAZING diner next door if you get tired of hotel breakfasts. Pool was smaller than expected but very warm which was nice.
My biggest complaints are that there was mold all around the tub/shower which was pretty gross to see, and a little extra cleaning could’ve easily remedied that. And the elevator went out of commission (I hear this is a common occurrence here) so we had to walk up 5 flights of stairs (usually I wouldn’t care much but I’m asthmatic and we had to carry our baby up all those stairs. Can’t imagine if someone had to do that with their luggage). The rooms are pretty nice and updated but the place itself could use a little work. Still giving 5 stars though because overall we did have a great stay. :)
