Boy, from reading some of these reviews I was expecting a fleabag when we arrived on Saturday. Luckily, it was much better than I expected. Wi-fi did not work in the room. The room appeared clean, and there were 2 suitcase racks. The birds that apparently were nested in the eves above our room's window (room 238) were very loud... More

Rooms were delapidated, mold marks in grout, toilet seat that should have been replaced years ago, door/ wall patched or broken. The sheets were so wrinkled that we thought the beds had been slept in. Dont expect continental breakfast on weekends because there is a waterpark at the pool and families come on the weekend so they would loose money... More

We were disappointed in the house keeping end. The dressers had dust "in" the drawers and on the dresser top.Carpets were stained badley in the room, in the hallways and staircases. I dropped a bottle that rolled slightly under the bed and I don't think they vacuum under there too often so if you have allergies I wouldn't recommend this... More

We have stayed at several Best Western's over the years, and this is by far the most antiquated and pricey! The water area it brags is small, outdated, and overated. For small children, perhaps, at a much less expensive price! They don't even offer a breakfast (except one for additional charge at adjoining restaurant, which too is outdated!) The friendly... More

Tons of Kids running down the halls & splashing in the hot tub. The hot tub was VERY small, and could only hold about 8 people comfortably. Note that children splash in the hot tub & take up all the space. The pool was actually small because the workers block off 1/2 of it for one waterslide. The waterslide was... More

Decided to join my husband for his business trip. Usually I only join him during his Sumer travels so this was a different experience. Great staff at this hotel! They no longer offer a continental breakfast which we miss. It was so nice to go down and get a quick bite to eat. They have replaced it with a full... More

This hotel is definitely an older property, however just like a classic GTO or Mustang from the 60"s ... she is still offering a lot for the money ... great location, nice views, pleasant outdoor areas and clean comfortable rooms. I always request one specific room on the second floor. It has a king size bed, sitting area, eating area... More

This is what you would expect from a Best Western. Property was clean as well as the room. Have been there several times to visit my daughter who goes to school there. During the Summer there is a nice outdoor bar next to the river that served good drinks. We last stayed on the second flloor. There were 4 tables... More

I can't really say anything negative about this hotel. I mean, it's a best western. The price was nominal, the room was fine. It does has a very small "waterpark" pool area, which would be great for smaller kids. Our room was a poolside room so, it definitely smelled of chlorine. It's not your Kahlahari by any means. More

The good: The hotel is right off the highway and right on the river. Good location. There is a small water park, which is why we stayed there for the weekend (have a 4 year old). The staff were all very friendly. We never ate in the restaurant but did order pizza to the room (from the restaurant) which was... More
