The property is in a very good location but has alot of deferred maintenance. The room itself was decent but the grounds need painting, cleaning and general maintenace. The elevator nor the pool were operating during our visit. The staff was friendly and courteous.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room had unfinished concrete ceiling (white paint isn’t finished) that made the room feel cold and damp uninviting. The shower was missing part of the assembly that would shut off one of the shower heads so you could have pressure to shower. The door to the balcony was missing the weather strip so light and noise was coming in. The bed and pillows were comfortable but the room was so clammy feeling with not extra blankets.

This hotel is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in, definitely not worth the price. Very inconvenient for a honeymoon trip. The elevator did not work, basically nothing worked. Walls are very thin so you can hear everything next door. No sleep! Save your money go somewhere else! Best thing about being here was the river view.
