SAMUEL, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love this hotel & their staff. We had booked a pet friendly room because it was the least expensive but when we got there the staff upgraded us to a creekside room at no additional charge. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool since we were only there for a few days & stayed busy in the mainstreet area. The cafe was nice & it wasn’t a long walk to the downtown area. 10/10 will stay here again!!
Amy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was great, very relaxing sitting on balcony listening to the river just beneath. Indoor pool and hot tub nice. Stayed 2 nights

The only complaint is the one front desk lady. Lucille she was not very friendly and did not enjoy her job at all. Otherwise the stay was great. Older hotel but room was clean and easy access to trolley stop. Will stay again.
Amy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Was great for what it is

Stayed in a room with one queen size bed. The hotel is older. It stated they’ve done some update in here and there my child love having three different pools to be able to go into. It was perfect for what we needed. It’s not the Ritz the mates could do a better job clean the vinyl floor, but it worked perfect for what we needed getaway trip for the kids .
Jacob, 3-night trip

A nice getaway

Check in was easy. Staff very friendly. Pool was nice. And it had a trolley stop right there. Very nice stay we will definitely stay here again.
Lori, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and pool

I didnt think it was 5 star but it was good for what we needed. I woll say the room was a nice size. The bathroom was a little small but worked although it didn't have a fan and needs a light in the shower area. Fridge was a nice size too. I did see a baby roach and hair in shower but beds seemed clean even though the sheets were very cheap material. Not a great view anymore with the Embassy behind the property. The pools and hot tub were great.

Could have been better

Out of the 4 lights in the living area only one worked. The bathroom light would only work sometimes. The molding was sagging around the bottom part of the floor in the bathroom.
