Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room looked clean initially, but had a very strong smell of mold. The bathroom mirror was dirty, and the air conditioner was filthy, we were afraid to even turn it on. The property had trash and food open outside to feed the crows and the building had multiple fist-sized holes in it from birds. Would not reccommend.

Nice enough room for the price and location. Had a nice view of the river and sunset. Air conditioner was a bit loud but at least it worked. Compared to other hotels in the area this was the cream of the crop.

This was a nice surprise. The view from the room was great, and the outdoor pool on a very hot day was a nice bonus. The staff were great and the room was clean and comfortable. Only minor complaint was the noisiness. Not terribly sound proof and ended up woken up a few times by people talking loudly outside (including a guy washing his truck while talking on his phone at 6:30am right outside our open window). Not the hotel’s fault, I suppose. Overall, though, a decent place to spend the night.

Would go there again

The rooms very clean and the beds are super comfortable. Awesome view. It also seems to be very well insulated as one could barely hear outside noises. The kids had fun in the pool
