Design. I just don't like a hotel designed with no outsid windows in many rooms. My room was on the pool lobby floor and unless you closed the blackout curtains you could easily see right into it from the well-traveled walkway right outside the only window. The staff was wonderful, though.

Enjoyed our one night stay, only a couple small issues, our bed was supposed to be a Queen, it was a full. A couple of black mold spots on the ceiling that made us think maybe something was, or had been leaking in the room above, Pool was nice, elevator was nice, over all we were happy and would stay there again.

The hotel had a convenient location and was easy to check into. Outside of that this is a low level hotel not worth more than $75 a night. The room was worn everything is very dated. A few items in particular, there was no toilet paper holder, so the toilet paper was just sitting on the counter next to the sink. The robe hook was hanging from the door. Wallpaper was peeling from the wall and corrected with clear tape, shower was hard to operate, and the Internet was spotty at best.

We have stayed here before and have been satisfied, but this time the room was not clean. The bathroom counter was not clean, and the carpet had not been adequately vacuumed. My wife went in the bathroom with white socks on and when she came out, they were not white, the floor was not clean.

Limited choices for breakfast especially for diabetics or those who have to limit carb intake. No fresh fruit. Check in staff was excellent! Very friendly and informative. Explained the boil water and gave us solutions. Checkout staff not as friendly, seemed distracted with her phone. Everything was clean, bed was ok comfort wise, room was quiet except for the train outside!

I appreciated the cleanliness and size of the room, the view of the river and the helpful staff. Breakfast was ok, i liked the biscuits and gravy. The sausage was too salty for me. The train whistle was a surprise. The curtains did not close sufficiently to keep out all the light. The TV channels/guide were confusing-a list of channels with their numbers would have been helpful. Thanks!
