I opted for the river view room and paid more for it but It does not look like the picture and is very dated. The staff at checkin were very pleasant, the lobby is nice if not a little quaint, but I'm cool with that. The river view room is in an old motel building, probably built around the 60's if I had to guess. The room was very clean. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were great as well. If you dont care about staying in an old room with a very outdated bathroom and just need a convenient clean place to lay your head then this is a great spot for you. I would stay here again.

The rooms were filthy, door was hard to open & close. Black mold in ceiling tiles, stink bugs all over room, spider webs with live spiders in the room. We left within 30 mins of checking in. Went to the Hilton down the road.

The main door was very very hard to shut. You had to slam your whole body against it to get it to shut. There was multiple times I thought it was shut then it would randomly pop open, while it was also “locked”. Other than the door issue everything else was as expected.

Stayed during Hurricane Helene remnants pass through. River was up but the view was gorgeous nonetheless. Room was clean, bed slept great, and staff was accomodating. My only call-out was the drink vending machine was totally sold out so next time (when we stay here again) I would bring sodas with us. Phenomenonal wakking distance to everything and good prices. Stay safe and thanks for make our honeymoon wonderful.

Location was good, compared to the online view of the company the actual on site view is completely different. There were bugs in the room, the phone didn’t work, linen was dirty. Even after reporting the situation to the front desk, I was told they would address the bug and phone issues but unfortunately that didn’t happen. I would not return due to false advertisement & the bug issues.
