Great location on the the Mississippi. Hotel is tired and wore out. The restaurant attached to the hotel was dirty and food was sub par to what the national chain serves in other towns.

I think the hotel is great staff is great but the WATERPARK is not safe with the amount of rust and duct tape and the water pressure in the splash pad area is way to string for littles now the price is decent but not for how bad the waterpark is it’s very rusty with duck tape everywhere it definitely needs updates been the same for at least 20 years

Needs attention and updates
Check-in guy was super friendly and place looked nice. Room had front of AC unit falling off, no vent fsn in bathroom so steam kept setting off smoke detector, drywall tape was peeling in bathroom (probably related to no vent fan), curtains had tears, and no way to lock door that staff couldn't bypass. The electronic keypad things were in the way of being able to flip the locking mechanism. Breakfast was subpar and staff was very rude, they cared more about last night's staff not putting some chairs away. Waterpark was fun but desperately needs to close for a few days to do some touch up painting and rust removal. Soft pad at the bottom of the toddler slide was more of a danger than anything.

This once fabulous property needs maintenance. It has beautiful river views, a great restaurant attached (Tony Roma’s), and a lovely (needing maintenance) waterpark. Everything is right about this place but management / ownership needs to step up and maintain. There was only ONE working elevator for the entire motel and staff. You need to be flexible and definitely not disabled to get out safely 😞 I even packed up and got my heavier stuff out early (before I normally would!) just to ensure I would make it to my event in time. Great staff under terrible conditions.

The water park is fun. Kids loved it. Its super warn in parts and lots of rust. However it was a blast. The arcade is actually pretty cheap. The kids got $20 each and played a little longer than an hour. The restaurant was meh. Wouldnt go there again. Rooms are rooms. The hotel is pretty good over all for price.

The staff was not very friendly and when they had to close the water park, they made no offer. To reopen after the storm was over Or do a partial Refund. The only reason we chose that hotel was the water park that we never got to use

Was very disappointed that the Waterpark closed at check in time and opened the next day at check out time. Would be nice to know these things while booking. We went for the Waterpark fun and didn’t even get to use it.
