Pros:

Nice rooms in a busy touristy area. Needs some renovation, very dated. Ample parking close to the hotel. Couple of blocks from the lake. Enjoyed the roof top bar, waiter/bartender was great.

Cons:

Very dated, needs a face lift for sure. Our bathroom was a disappointment, as small as a bathroom in an RV, very tight! Bar lounge was OK, food average. We wanted a balcony room so we could see the lake, haha, the smallest balcony ever, barely room for two small chairs and table. Trees in the way of our view and surprised it was a couple of blocks from the lake because the pictures looked like we were right on it.

The Park Place Hotel is total dump & I felt like I was staying in a haunted hotel it was so creepy.
Pros:

It’s location. The ONLY other good thing about this dump was Aaron, the front desk mngr.

Cons:

This hotel is old & musty. Stained carpeting, moldy & dingy. The elevators are so old I was afraid we’d get stuck & they’re tiny. To top it all off we paid $1500 for 3 nights in this creepy, moldy place!!! I wish we could get our money back 😤

It met our needs for our visit. We would stay there again.
Pros:

Excellent location for short walk to activities for Cherry Festival and downtown. Room was large and comfortable. Lighting was excellent. Beautiful grand piano in lobby and we were got to hear it played. So nice.

Cons:

Pressure for shower was very poor and temperature of water was temperamental. New show head is probably needed.

Decent old hotel, great central location
Pros:

Staff were fantastic, the pool(s) were great other than the splash feature in the kids pool not working.

Cons:

Definitely an older hotel and not nice in all the right places, but a comfortable enough stay in a great location.
