The room was clean, other than a stain on the sheet. I brought to thier attention the next morning. They never came in and changed it. The bar was good and the food fantastic. Also, there was coffee in the room (pods) but wanted a bigger, hotter coffee for our walk across the river. They wanted $3.00 for a cup of coffee.

Pool was closed for renovations. We chose the hotel mainly for access to a pool and were not.notified that it was closed. Bar was scheduled to beopen until 10 pm on Sunday night but was closed before 8:30. Staff was very polite. Shout out to Phyllis the bartender she was a hoot.

The rooms too small, handicapped bathroom with undafe inoperable conditions. My mom fell and we called the front desk, asked him to call 911 and he refused. He claimed he would come but not call 911. We got the address and called 911 ourselves. The heater/ac was loud like a train engine, and the noise from the interstate is LOUD. The door wouldnt close all the way. I felt like making a criminal complaint on the front desk attendant for refusing to call 911 for us, he talked about how he could come up, but why would i have some untrained civilian seeing my mom on the floor undressed? He was ill equipped to help, and being law enforcement i already knew that. will upload pics and video on Google if I can.
Door not closed at top and the insulation came off at the bottom.

I had stayed her once with my dad when I was growing up and remember loving the hotel. It has not been maintained since then. So many things were broken. I’m grateful the sheets were clean, but there was a lot that wasn’t clean. I felt safe there in the past, but not this visit and we will not be back.
