Room was comfortable but not aesthetically pleasing. Window in bathroom stuck and as an elderly person was unable to close it. No parking onsite. Was not a very inviting hotel and feel it could fo with some modernization.

There were no towels in the room. I specific asked if there was a hair dryer prior to checkin. They said all rooms had one. My room did not. The place was dated and dirty. I picked an item up off the floor and it was covered in hair. Additionally, I chose it for the river view, but it was blocked with scaffolding.

Disappointed! We knew the hotel was an older hotel when we booked however this hotel does need some upgrades and improvements. They are working on the outside of the hotel and maybe some work needs to be done on the inside as well. The carpet is old and furniture to. The bed is the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! We paid extra to have a river view room only to have it spoiled by a scaffolding right outside our window we understand work needs to be done but we should have been notified and not charged the rate we paid. Our room was so cold as we had no heat! I called the front desk only to have someone come to the room and tell us she would tell the manager, well the manager came to the room 2 times and we were told it could be a burnt out fuse and provided us with a heater that didn’t work so good and didn’t heat up the room! The only room that had heat was the bathroom however you can’t sleep in the bathroom! I would have appreciated a follow up from the manager but nothing and no customer service at all! We checked out and they didnt bother to ask how our stay was! We mentioned we had no heat and the response was oh my and would go up to the room to check…oh well to late for that we were leaving!

Hotel was in a great location. Staff was friendly. Parking was super convenient. However....hotel is a hot mess. Place looks old, worn and dirty. Room smelled stale. Looked unclean. Hair on sheets, dirt on walls, fan was full of dust, half the lights didn't work. While staff was friendly they were not particularly helpful. Since only stayed for one night it was doable. Unfortunately, definitely would not stay there again.

There is no luggage cart. We were traveling with a lot so getting it to/from our room was a lot of work. Also - No car park on the property. We were able to park a short distance away on the street but since it was on a one-way street, getting back to the front door the next morning required some driving around.

There was a ton of construction at the building that was not disclosed to us when booking. The room and bathroom was dirty. The shower curtain tore in half. Let them know but they never replaced it in the few days we were there.
