Interesting historical location
Pros:

Room was spacious but noisy from traffic on the i75, fittings were dated and staff not very happy to accommodate my request for a room with disability bathroom with grab rails and a walk-in shower.

Cons:

Helpfulness of the staff when I wanted to inspect a room before committing.

HORRIBLE! Roaches, rat traps, molded sheets, and nasty rooms.
Pros:

The view from the balcony.

Cons:

The rooms were disgusting. The sheets were stained with black mold and holes. Some beds were covered with hair. One of our rooms look as if someone had slept in it and showered. There was towels and trash still in the room. We were told housekeeping only cleans every 3 days and that they are “barely a 3 star hotel. What do we expect”. They had so many complaints that they gave us 5 minutes to look at our rooms. If we didn’t like them we could get new ones. When we asked for new rooms, the front desk employee Pam had an attitude and didn’t want to help. They called the police on us and refunded everyone. We had 19 rooms. The police officer says it happens every other day there smh. The pictures on booking and their website is definitely AI!! The hotel looks nothing like the pictures. The pool area was full of roaches. Not cockroaches but ROACHES! And they had rat traps all over the hotel. The ice machines didn’t work. They had trash in them.

For the price booking.com I was over charged and not worth the stay.
Pros:

The breakfast was good but we only got it because it was complimentary. Staff did try to help with the bad experience.

Cons:

Location was closer to the freeway than riverfront. The first room was hot from no ac and smelled terrible. The second room toilet over flowed and the tub filled up during showering. We were going to cancel but they offered an upgrade and breakfast. Still was over charged by booking.com once I found out what Radisson charged compared to booking. Wouldn’t recommend

Nostalgic but Never Again...
Pros:

Location and nostalgia of having stayed there for years past.

Cons:

Had no hot water the entire three day stay, it was out at check-in and we were not informed. Restaurant AC was out and we were not notified even though we had a reservation. Dead lady bugs in door track to balcony. AC unit was inconsistent.
