Hotel called us. Said we had to be there by 8pm to check-in because she was going home. We had to change our plans and rush our arrival to meet her expectations. Next, the room was awful. Hole in the floor. Hair on the sheets. Rust everywhere. Very very run down. Paint wearing off everywhere. It was bad and I’ve stayed in horrible places. I won’t be booking here again.

No early coffee

Our room was clean and comfortable. It had good lighting and a nice view from the balcony. Only complaint was no coffee in the room and it wasn’t ready in the lobby until 9:00.

The room was clean and warm. I love being able to go sit by the river and relax. I do wish that they had a chair in my room to sit on other than just the bed.

These rooms are older but clean and well taken care of. The room we had was small but it was nice to have a wall between the kids and us. We did not spend much time in our room so it didn’t bother us too much.
