Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was mostly comfortable, but it had some drawbacks. The rooms were large, comfy, and well-equipped for our needs, although they were hot and had some cleanliness issues. The location was great with a river view and easy access to attractions like the Mississippi River Museum. The staff provided mixed service, with some being nice and helpful while others were rude. Overall, a decent stay with a few areas for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was just what we needed for a mix of fun at the waterpark and relaxation. The rooms served their purpose, but security was a concern for me. The location was convenient for exploring around the river and the downtown area.
The hotel rooms were very comfortable and clean as expected, but a bit outdated with noise issues and lacking proper cleanliness. The staff provided a helpful and friendly service, though some amenities were missing. The location was convenient for conference attendees, but with some cleanliness issues and ventilation concerns. The dining experience left room for improvement with poor-quality offerings.
