Neglected room is understatement. As soon as you walk in the door there is a broken bar pipe of sort , one small one large. Blood splatters on ceiling in 2 areas near one another. Then more blood on bottom of bathroom door plus door is broken off hinges. Also large spider by open closet front door, along with some mouse droppings in the toilet. We'll at least the mouse tried to keep clean. I'm disabled so called front desk explained to clerk what we witnesses and he stated he would be down. Just nearing 30 min still had not come down. We had begun loading our suv back up knowing we would not stay in that room. Finally 40 min have gone by we decide to go up see the clerk. Upon entering office with said broken pipes I brought in for clerk to see along with pics date and time stamped. He was on personal cell phone speaking with someone for a minute saying things like I'll be home late I'll call you back yada yada.. He said i assume you want a refund. I said yes please. Never offers any other accommodations. I did ask can I please have a receipt document saying what I had shown you about the room issues and management number. He said could not give any receipt and very reluctantly, gave me a sticky note with name number front desk.1hr out of the way able to get another room. So 100 more also run by same manager. Cerk had businesses cards and stated here is management card I'll also leave a message to call you. Myself and Expedia have emailed called no response, more than a week!

Avoid this location. Cockroach in the bedside drawer. Neighbor's AC continually cycled on and off while creating so much noise that it was impossible to sleep. Staff knocked and then opened their door but it was chained from the inside. Staff said there was nothing more they could do. Spoke with front desk in the morning and was told that manager would call later that day. Manager never followed up. Staff was friendly but obviously management does not care about customer experience. This hotel has gone downhill quickly since new management took over.

No daily room service during 3 day stay, Exterior of facility looks good but interior condition is marginal at best. Bathroom shows rot around end of bathtub and adjacent vanity. Wals discolored. Upon arrival found stink bug and roach inside the room. Killed and removed them from interior of room, Locking mechanism to door leading to balcony has been broken and not properly repaired. Part of door frame appears split from forced entry, Parking was very adequate and exterior of facility was clean and appeared well maintained. Biggest disappointment was no daily room service throughout our stay. We had to go to front desk to obtain coffee packets and clean towels and wash cloths. I would not recommend this hotel.

The room was very nice. However, both sinks leaked and the toilet rocked. There was no chair for the desk, I had to use the seating chair. Overall a nice stay. The balcony overlooked the river and was a nice place to sit peacefully.

The staff was hard to find. The phone was ringing off the hook and nobody was around the front desk to answer it or check us in. I was told the room did not have a fridge or microwave so I asked if there was another room available and without checking she just said no. There is no breakast but I want to the lobby for coffee in the morning and the hotel staff did not even respond to my Good Morning. The room was very musty and lead us to believe there was water damage somewhere. The doors also did not close properly. The ice maker next to our room was out of order. The balcony off the back had a nice view of the river.

The balcony is wonderful. Clean. Great Light. The sound of the running river is amazing. Air conditioner and heat worked great even I pretty sure it needs to be replaced as the unit looked to be separating.. check in staff was exceptionally.. my sister couldn’t walk up the steps to the 2nd story, she accommodated us by switching rooms to a first floor unit .
