I didn't stay. Room was not what I booked, no microwave or refrigerator. Balcony view of the river was a small porch over looking a small pool. Room had a very strong smell that burned my throat when I walked in. Was told refund had to be given through Expedia since I booked 3rd party. Yes I understand this is a 2 star hotel, but I stay in 2 and 3 star hotel's all the time and they are excellent.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was so outdated and stained on the furniture and the carpet. The bed , well mattress was like sleeping on the floor. The cherry on top was being woke up by the smell of weed coming in from somewhere. We packed up as fast as we could, the smell was nauseating.
Very good rooms need some upgrades on shower heads and toiletry stuff and also need to add breakfast.

Room was not fit to rent. Toilet did not work, no curtains only blinds that let light in, strange stain on chair and bathroom had some kind of debris splashed on wall. Looks like this room was neglected.

When .my wife an I arrived for our anniversary getaway at the hotel to check in. The process was ok. But when we got to our room the key wouldn't work. We had went back to the front desk. To get it taken care of. They reprogrammed the key for the second time out of four times total. At this point they sent maintenance man to open the door because none of the keys they tried would work. The maintenance man had informed us there was nothing else they could do until the next morning when he would come back and change the locks to fix the door .What really is an inconvenience got even worse. When We were told they couldn't move us to another room. We had already been dealing with this before being able to get in the room for atleast 1 and a half hours. Also ever time we had to enter our room we had to get the person who was at the front desk tocome open the door. Witch took so long that i had to use the bathroom. And got embarrassed on my anniversary because I had to wait for help to get in my room. Resulting in having to take a shower and get redresssed so my wife and I could proceed with our plans for the evening.
P.s. > the door was never fixed during our stay.
This was supposed to be a special weekend for me and my wife. It felt more like being babby sat waiting for someone to come let us in to our room at their convenience.
The room did not look anything like the pictures. Very old and out dated, shower did not work properly, parts of the wall were rotting and bulging out. The pictures for the inside of the room do not even look like the same place at all. Biggest problem was the smell of the room, musty and moldy. Will not be staying here again. Positive is nothing for broken into.
Only balcony view is great, but heater dont work, everything is old, nobody in the front desk more than hour waiting for check in is literally ALONE nobody in front desk in tree times diferent never come back there
We really enjoyed our stay..... Everything was perfect

Not all rooms have refrigerator so I had to be moved to a bigger room which cost more. No breakfast, just coffee and tea.
My card key wasn’t working so 2 days I had to get it renewed. Finally my last day the door didn’t open at all.
Otherwise the view is fabulous!
The hotel has some age on it but they have upgraded the exterior and interior to a place where this is a solid value. Right on the river the rooms have excellent views from their balconies. The Room 151 was perfect. Great location to the casino. Pete’s Pancake House best place for breakfast.

Not bad, a bit bare-bones in terms of amenities but the location is good, price was ok.
The motel was dated but clean. Loved the river in the back. Had a balcony which was great to sit outside and listen to the river and watch the wildlife.
