It was the last room and they were doing renovations so walking from the parking lot to the office was horrible. Once we got the key and opened up the door. There was roaches running across the bed all in the bathroom. The bathtub was disgusting. I went back to the office and asked for a different room told clerk that there were roaches in their room told me that I had to show him proof my daughter took pictures and showed him that also took him back to the room and showed him the roaches on the bed and in bathroom first he stated that he couldn’t give a refund and then turn around and gave me a refund and I asked for a receipt to prove my refund. This property was disgusting and I will never stay there again.

Worth the money!!

Nice 2 nite get away!! Literally right on the river making for good sunrise views and pics. Only 1 complaint and that was the sighting of a German Cockroach under the microwave on top of the fridge. Only saw 1 but if you manage to bring one of them home in your bag it could infest your home! Please get that taken care of... Other than that 10+... Front desk was great and even let me slide on the $30 cash deposit i was unaware of upon check in n next day gave me all the time i needed with a late checkout. Very happy with the customer service here, very accommodating. Thank You all very much!!

DO NOT STAY HERE!! The reasons are too many to list. The description of this property was VERY misleading. Even the locals had negative things to say about the place. The only saving grace was the great park next door with a view of the river. We left early due to ALL the problems in BOTH rooms we were given.

Our room smelled like cigarette smoke. The floors and bathtub were less than clean. When asked if they could give us another room, we were told they were renovating and had limited rooms and they were full. I would have to wait on hold for 2 hr to try and get a refund from Expedia. The bed linens were clean and we were only staying for 1 night so we decided to stay. The staff was nice.
