Room - no shower door, broken door handles, no safe or mini bar that was advertised . Need to walk through area with any homeless men who harassed you for money or other so no going out at night safely.Meals took 30 to 45 minutes even when only person in the restaurant. The place is dated and does not deserve a 3 star. Other than that some of the staff were great if you tipped them well .

First off, I would have given them only 3 stars but the staff was wonderful so made it 4. The hotel itself is not as convenient to the falls as it seemed when scheduling. You will need to have transport to most places. This is available without much effort. The closest shopping it at least a quarter of a mile away and there is no sidewalk and on a main road. It is an older hotel but is in fairly good shape. Our room had some problems but as we were only there 2 nights and already settled it was not worth changing. Biggest was the bath had a leak so any time you took a shower there was a good deal, of water on the floor. I did inform them of this when we left. Some lights were not functioning and the bathroom exhaust fan did not work. The phone had no labels so you couldn't tell how to call any services. Had to go out and find someone to help with luggage when checking out. A fair number of steps and would not consider ADA friendly. Breakfast buffet was pretty good. Not a huge selection but what they had was good. Only bar was poolside but it sufficed for us. The staff really made up for any shortcomings. They were very friendly and helpful. Never had a problem. I would probably stay again but would request another room if I found similar problems.

Staff were great. Kenny and Nyasha at the bar were very friendly and helpful. Front desk staff could have been friendlier. The greeter in the lobby was so fun and happy. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Restaurant service was very slow and breakfast buffet charges changed on a daily basis, when I tried to clear up charges it was to no avail. Pool was very clean , enjoyable to swim in.
