Heerlijk verblijf aan de rivier
Pros:

Ligging aan de rivier was erg mooi, balkon keek uut op de rivier. Drankje gedaan buiten op het terras en lekker gegeten in het restaurant bij de bar. Snachts erg stil wat fijn was. Ontbijt was niet bij prijs inbegrepen maar erg goed.

Pros:

Location was great, rooms were large. Very pet friendly. Staff was great. First floor room had access to grassy lawn and little patio.

Cons:

No coffee in the room. A patio off the room was nice but in the morning when the sprinklers came on it turned it into a waterpark.

Weary travelers
Pros:

The Gentleman at the desk was very helpful and accommodating,we arrived very early from montana,very tired didn't want to wait 2 hours for our booked room so for a small and totally reasonable fee we were able to get a room right away.

Cons:

There isn't a thing I didn't like,everything was great.

Cons:

When calling the hotel, staff never picked up. Hotel charges a $75 security deposit which is bogus and means they believe their clientele is low grade. We were charged a $6 "resort fee" on top of what we understood to believe the total room charge (including taxes and fees). The facility is no resort.

would never go back and would encourage others not to go.
Pros:

well the room was in rough shape, very old, the view wasn't as expected, and the extra daily charge of $9.00 was for the amenities, oh by the way which included the parking lot, the pool, ( what wasnt usable as very green and couldn't see the bottom of the pool, hot tub wasn't working, basically very dissapointed.

Room is nicer, cleaner and more comfortable than you might think based on external impressions.
Pros:

Room and especially bathroom seem to have been recently renewed. Nice grout and caulking in bathroom. Newer tub and fixtures. Everything in the room was clean and comfortable. AC worked well.

Cons:

Hotel exterior, entries and elevator seem dated, dingy and dank making a poor first impression. The room did not smell fresh until the AC had been running for a while, also making a bad first impression. Window covering is ugly.

Nice, close to a beach access area right on the river was great! FYI- This is an older hotel.
Pros:

Breakfast was extra at the resturant $10-$18 and was well worth it! Very good food and large amount.
Nice to have a beach right there to boat, kayak, paddle board or swim.
Hot tub was great, pool a little on the cold side.

Cons:

The hotel is definitely older. It's an good place for being older but just expect it. A bit more expensive than I would want to spend.

Pros:

The view is excellent. The staff person who waited on us both days in the restaurant for breakfast (forgot his name) was wonderful, very friendly and personable. He is a hard worker who works (maybe even manages) the restaurant on weekends in addition to his other job.

Cons:

Room was very dated with mismatched decor. Pillowcases were stained. The “lanai” outside of the room was too small and was dirty with cigarette butts.
