The room had a bad odor. There where roach's crawling on tables. Its not in good condition for someone to stay in. We left after the first night and had to get a new hotel. The lady at the desk was no help. It was to worst experience we have ever had at a hotel. I DONT RECCOMEND this place to no one.

Do you research before booking this hotel.

My room had no microwave or refrigerator. The satellite television was awful. There were a little more than a dozen channels and it would freeze up when raining. I won’t be staying here again.

Our stay was ok. This is an average hotel. Beds were a bit hard, but it was only for 2 nights. We added an extra night and the price was way higher than what I booked online. So get the number of nights right to get the best prices. Our room on the lower level had a view of the river and one day we woke up to geese right out side Our window.

Rooms arent horrid, but we did had ants in the bathroom. Advertises free breakfast, but they do not have it. Only one ice machine on the second story for the entire place. Our 'view' of the river was not so good. Front staff was lazy and unfriendly. And the pool was dirty.

We originally booked a room for 2 nights online and the web showed us a room with jacuzzi and river view. We got there and had a regular room with a small tub and kudzu blocking our river view on First floor. Was not happy so we spoke to owners son who quickly moved us to the second floor with a jacuzzi and awesome view of river. He was very kind and helpful. My husband loved the river and trout fished for two days!! Very convenient to everything and very clean room. Will definitely stay there again!!
