Easy access right off the interstate with plenty of parking and a great view of the river. Our room was not the cleanest and was a non smoking room that smelled of cigarettes on arrival. It was fine for one night last minute but a bit pricey given the condition of the room. Breakfast in the morning was adequate.

Disappointed with the quality of the room for the

Had to wait to get our keys for the room & were made to stay in the lobby for a half hour til they made sure our keys worked. When we did get to the room it was hard to find the lights to turn them on. Entering the restroom the toilt seat was ready to fall off. Why didn't the maids see this while cleaning or didn't they ckean the toilet? Went to let the front desk know & found that therir maintenance people had left for the day so they gave me tools to fix it myself. So you tell me no one else working there course go fix it? So make the people paying for the room do it! Not a good thing.

I loved that there was GOOD ham on the breakfast buffet! I will definitely stay here again, not just because of the ham, but because it was a nice place to stay. There must be a good manager, the staff all seemed to work hard while still being personable.
