The view, room and balcony were great. But the town the hotel was located in was awful. Plus the cleaning service folded out bathroom towels and didn’t even make our bed. The pool was buggy and gross. Hotel is conveniently located close to Uncle Sam’s Boat Tours. Which I suggest. Free coffee was available all day.
