Easy to get to from the interstate and plenty of parking. Not much else around the hotel other than a casino. Pool was big but not overly clean since the doors were open, hot tub was closed for unknown safety reasons. Breakfast area is pretty small and was packed on a Monday morning.

Although in an older area, hotel was clean. Staff seemed like they were over worked and under paid but polite and helpful. Walking path by the river was available but safety was questionable and needed lighting at night. Overall, no issues and good stay. Loved the free transport to Farrahs for the concert we attended.

The hotel itself was great! The rooms were clean the breakfast had good options. The hotel is right next to industrial ag service place so it felt out of place. The pool is not heated so be warned! All in all I’d stay again. The address on Expedia takes you to said ag service place so go to 2202 River Road instead!

Room was missing essentials as soon as we checked in, toilet paper and hand soap. Called down to attendant. Took approximately a half hour before items were delivered. Water stains/damage on part of ceiling. Lamp shade was missing pieces to it. Shower had dirt near the base. Pool area was nice. Complimentary breakfast was average. Quiet location/good view outside of river. Casino nearby.
