Checking in was really easy and the staff is very friendly. Room was alright some small improvements would be better bed, if they would clean the spider webs around the balcony, and the water had a very harsh metal smell. If you are only staying for a few days don't shy away.

Comfy bed and hot water. Over all nice stay with a great view of the river. Only complaint would be sliding glass doors need cleaned for a better view.

Loved the property being right on the water.Room was nice and clean..Slight patch work above our toilet in the ceiling was dripping..The vacant property next door would be a great hall as a suggestion.Unfortunately the bar and grill on the lower level of the hotel was closed from covid.Would love to see that reopen possibly..Marina was very nice also..Altho some docks are in need of repair.All together still enjoyed this place.

Never Again
The room was dirty on check in, and was full of mold. Everything is dated but the water smelled like rust, the drains were all backed up and the carpet was sticky. If there was another place to go we would have checked out and gone there.

The Waterfront hotel and Marina was obviously not a brand new property, but it was well maintained, clean, and very conveniently located for my purposes. There were plenty of nearby places to eat (or shop, if that's what was important). I'd consider returning if I ever go back to that area again.
