If you're picky, don't go here. But I'm not picky, and although it could use a huge refresh, I very much enjoyed my stay here. It's reminiscent of Kellerman's in Dirty Dancing. The bar is outstanding and the band was awesome. The staff are some of the best people I've ever met.

Ask if party going on before booking.
The hotel itself was clean, comfortable beds. The staff were wonderful, BUT, next door is a reception hall I guess and xmas parties were going on each night. People are pretty selfish and ignorant thinking that parking in front of a hotel room on the first floor to go party is okay. The owners/managers should make sure that the hotel guests get to park in the parking spaces before partiers get to park in them. They blocked the drives, at least the second night, they put saw horses out to keep the main drive usable. Sad that a guest can't go to have dinner, and return and be able to park without having to go down and hopefully find a spot near stored boats. And the parking area near the pavilion has 1 row and then 3 cars widths then another double row. The owners need to make sure their hotel room paying guests can get a parking space, not the poor staff. I probably would consider staying there again, if riverfront is booked up.nSadly, a bad experience does overshadow future visits.

It was a convenient place to stay. You where in the center of everything and could see the Bonnie Castle. The cleanliness of the rooms were terrible. We waljed in and there was a pretzel on the floor and none of the floors in the two rooms that we booked had been swept. The staff was nice.

Disappointed
This place is a bait and switch. Looks cool and historic because of the facade pictures they post, but it is really a below average motorcourt hotel. It is in desperate need of an upgrade. Not what we were expecting from the photos at all. It is right on the river and if you need a marina they seem well equipped. Service was fine.

Look elsewhere!
Standard room was in motel-like annex building which not described or photos on website. Original room smelled horribly of mold/mildew. Mold on lamp shades, and lamps were rusty. VERY rundown place in need of upgrades. Lots of broken and damaged items, and deferred/poor maintenance. Beds comfortable though, except pillows flat as pancakes. Could not stand the room smell. Service desk allowed me to check out an “upgraded” room in main hotel building, which was better for our second night. Had to pay additional $ for it. As it had a jacuzzi tub - cool, but stained tub bottom - would not use it. Main building common stairways/halls, outside porch very run down, bleached wood, mold and rot. View was awesome though, from porch. Weeds growing where a nice lawn would’ve been nice, between main building and water. Low cost maintenance items, e.g. paint/stain porch with decent chairs, grass instead of weeds, fluffy pillows, replace lamp/shades, dehumidifier, better maintenance/repairs, etc. would make difference. Thankful we were only there to sleep at night. Will not go back or refer. Recommend they sell the horrible annex building and put $$ into upgrading/maintaining the main hotel, as it’s a beautiful view and old main hotel building prob has lots of great history.

Room was nice but hotel was a bit outdated. We stayed 2 days and they did not clean room. Dropped off extra towels. The view was incredible though.
View from balcony by the pool.

We booked 2 nights, a riverview room with a balcony and a jacuzzi tub. Our room was clean but very dated and had a sort of stale smell. The tiny balcony had serious spider webs and at night it was impossible to sit outside. The light comes on automatically and can't be turned off so it becomes bug central.. We came back late the first night and found out the jacuzzi was missing a part and was unusable. On checking out we were told nothing they can do,, we should of reported it when we found out. I told the women I wasn't going to call anyone 10:30 at night and we left early the next morning again, but she just kept saying " Nothing I can do about it" We paid close to $300 a day for a room with extras we couldn't enjoy, very disappointing.
