Family trip
Family trip. The room was very clean. Great location. Quiet. Except for the weird clicking of the ac, but that you got used to when slept. The hotel had a “grab and go breakfast” that was everything yOu could need to start you day. Overall, fun and enjoyable stay. Thanks.

Excellent help provided by staff. Parking is close for unloading. Each unit has a balcony overlooking the pool. This motel is on a busy road but nights were very quiet for sleeping. Grab N Go breakfast was good since everything had to be wrapped separately. Did not like the NO maid entry during stay. We stayed 6 nights and were asked to fill out a card when we needed washcloths, towels, etc. Yes, you could go to the office and have someone drop off the items, also. Ice is on the 3rd floor and wouldn't you know, the elevator was "OFF" 2 days of our stay. All in all, I would stay again.

Ok, but not great. Kinda fresh with lots of 'ick'
They have renovated this property, it would seem fairly recently. A few things are where you would expect them to be for a $175+ per night hotel. Other items are a long ways off. Beds were updated and comfortable. Flooring was LVP, which stays clean and looks nice. Furniture was fine. There were residential doors in rooms which didnt close. Literal sheets of plywood for door between balcony caulking in baths stained yellow from urine. Mold on ceilings at exterior wall. Common areas & balconies had flaking paint, rusted out railings, building materials in stairways (Bad odor in stairs also, had to hold breathe and walk quick). Just a general 'ick' throughout common areas and rooms. Location in just off strip in a more quite area of town. Pool was nice but small. If more than 2 families were at pool it felt crowded.

Good Remodel on an 80’s joint
Family get away. It is an older motel, remodeled pretty well. Older pool was clean but no bathrooms near the pool….concerning. We went to our room of course but not certain others would take the time. Good location. Short walking distance to restaurants. River is across the street so you can walk and see it…the name is a little misleading. Overall…will stay there again even though the price is too high, only because I appreciate the nostalgia of the 80’s.

The front desk associates are very nice. I did t like that breakfast doesn’t start until 8am since we get up and go early. The room was pretty clean except the floors could us some attention. Carpet is dirty and the carpet free area of the floor didn’t look like it was swept. No sidewalks on this side of the street. I do give it a 4 overall for quiet, friendliness, mostly clean room, and convenient location.
