The hotel was very clean and close to downtown. The only complaint was that the refrigerator wasn't turned on when we got there.

Our stay was perfect to get together with family! The only thing that was a problem was that our room smelled like sewage really bad.

When my daughter and I checked in, there was a woman changing behind the registration desk. Not a great first impression, but we were already out $267 so we pressed on. As we got to our floor, it smelled musty. Once we got to our room, we realized that it had most likely lost its glory over a decade ago. It smelled, furniture was old, the sheets were re-stitched with blue thread, no comforter and just gross. The television only had around 20 channels to choose from with no pay-per-view. The ice machine didn’t work. I could go on, but the worst part was the “waterpark”. Parts of the tree were being held together with duct tape. There was no private changing room. The lazy river was more of a push your feet off the walls to move with the water type of river. All in all, complete disappointment. The complimentary breakfast made both my daughter and myself sick. Don’t waste your money!

You hear trains around the hour. Next to the museum and Mississippi River. Water park was fun regardless that there were some rust. The breakfast room was small and we had to wait for seats. The kids room was fun. Room was nice and updated. Felt clean. No bugs. Had microwave and fridge. Lots of vanity space.

Overnight check-in tried to help me work a bigger room upgrade but the Hotels.com reservation did not accommodate it. Something both One Key and the property should work on. Hotels need to understand no matter how I booked, I am still a revenue booking. I was able to get a rollaway which worked out.

We had a beautiful corner room with a great view. Hotel needs some updates. Our room smelled of stale cigarette smoke and some furniture was chipped and marred. The bed was clean and quite comfortable

The hotel room was good. Service was good. A little upset the the summer hours started when I booked the hotel for my daughter's bday and wanted to stay for the indoor water park. Found out it's was closed Monday-Wednesday, and wasn't notified about it. Found other things to do in the area for her bday.

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.

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.

Not being told the pool hours on Sunday when we checked in and being charged $50.00 three times on my account and the account wasn’t in on Monday when we questioned it

Mayflies everywhere. Room was told had river view, which it sort of does but really mostly air-conditioning units. Anyone with emf sensitivity like me, will get dizzy and nauseous in the room.

Beautiful location on the Mississippi. The rooms are outdated but clean. Nothing special. The restaurant is convenient, large and has entertainment in summer. The waterpark is definitely for young toddlers. No pool just slides and closes very early at 8pm. Wish they had an actual pool.

I will never use Expedia again. They fail to offer the fact the water Park closes at 4pm on Sunday and opens at 11am Monday. In other words...you check in on a Sunday and it's closed and doesn't open til you check out Monday. HUGE waste of money. Only use Grand harbour to reserve a room! Their site shows hours of water Park.

Overall we had great time. Bathroom tub was clogged so had to get maintenance to repair. Mold on wallpaper in bathroom. When we open the shower curtain there were several dirty washclothes on it. I did ask housekeeping to come in and take care of all the dirty towels but that never happened. Needs updated.

Check in and facilities were great. Huge arcade and the water park was a blast. Part of the water park was closed and there was obvious wear and tear, but good shape. Only room complaint would be TVs could use an upgrade so they can utilize streaming.

Biggest issue was lack of elevator space. People were lined up on the 5th floor longer than 10 minutes to leave in the morning waiting for an elevator. If you decided to take the stairs you ended up outside and had to walk around the building.
