Pros:

The hot tub in our room was great, but got cold fast. I didnt want to keep running hot water to warm it back up. Very pet friendly, but the pet fee is pretty high for just one night, especially for an 11lb dog that doesnt shed. I made more of a mess than our dog did. The restaurant prices were great and the eggplant parmesan and caprese salad were fantastic. They made two meals for two people.

Pros:

All the staff were incredibly helpful and polite, the pool was great, and WiFi worked very well. My whole family enjoyed this hotel and felt very safe.
It took us less than 10 minutes to get to the falls or the nearest wal mart (in different directions) making it a fantastic experience overall.
The beds in our room were a bit lumpy, but overall not horrible. Would definitely stay here again.

Pros:

We only stayed over night, but were really happy with the hotel itself. The restaurant was a different story. First, we were seated by a very nice maintenance man who went into the kitchen to find our server. We asked the waitress what would be the best things to order because we had limited time to eat due to a scheduled tour. We ordered her suggestions and the eggs came different than what was ordered. The toast was cold and the servers were nowhere to be found again. We were the only ones in the restauraunt. Stay at the hotel, but go elsewhere for breakfast.

Pros:

My son had recently suffered an injury and was on crutches. They gave us an accessible room on the first floor and provided ice for him. Room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant seems nice as is the waterfront venue. Although we were told service would be severely delayed because of a private event. That was inconvenient because we chose the hotel because of the restaurant. That being said we found an amazing restaurant named griffon gastro pub. So we probably ended up better off.

In general it was not what I was expecting at all.
Pros:

The room wasn’t what I was expecting, it was on the first floor not a nice corner, and the smell was a strong old carpeting ,it seam that wasn’t have a good cleaning. Food was not good , hamburger was with a very dry and thinner peace of meet and and old peace of lettuce,french fries good. The room was not made for the day.
