Many guests praise the river views, patios and balconies, and the marina and outdoor bar with live entertainment. Common complaints include sticky or dirty carpets, dated fixtures, inconsistent housekeeping, and occasional pool or hot tub cleanliness issues. Dining is often good, but hours and service can be inconsistent. Expect a scenic, laid-back stay with great views and some trade-offs.

Great resort all around. One of the best in the state. My only complaint is the water level in the hot tub was too low the first day. It was filled better the second day, however.

Well-kept property sitting by the river. The pool area is good, the hot tub needs maintainance. The fact that breakfast wasnnot included made this property too expensive, and reduces the level of positive experience a customer.can have. They cater to conferences and events, not so much to single.users. I wpuld come back only if I would not have any other choice. It is not bad, it is simply overpriced for what one gets.

We love staying here! The outside view of the river is gorgeous! Love the Tiki bar and live music. The pool is fabulous. Only disappointing thing was lack of friendly service at the front desk and inside bar (employees don't seem like they even want to be there... complete lack of friendly faces and welcoming words).

The hotel was really nice, possibly a bit dated. The only thing I considered a big downside was the carpet in the rooms. When walking barefoot in the rooms you could actually feel how gross the carpets were. And after needing to clean up a water spill, the towel was actually black from the carpet. I would highly recommend replacing carpet with wood floors. Everything else was comfortable. There was one faucet that didn't have very good water pressure. In one shower the faucet didn't work well. All in all we would definitely come again. Beautiful area, very convenient having the marina right there, friendly staff. We just will always wear shoes.

This place was loud, dirty, and distasteful. Not impressed, would not recommend. For instance, I got out of the shower and walked over to the bed. The carpet was so gross my feet felt sticky. I wiped them off with a washcloth and it was black, the carpet is so dirty. Got some food in the bar, was so loud and vulgar. Drunk guys screaming obscenities. The bar staff were the only helpful people in the place. If you are a tired traveler, DO NOT STAY HERE.

We stayed two different times in 2 different rooms in the last week. The second stay was in a room with a patio with a river view and the room was spacious and the view was great. However, both rooms smelled musty, were damp, the carpet was sticky, and the bathrooms stunk. Also, there was a dead frog floating in the hot tub. If I had to guess, the property is under new ownership and they're squeaking out some end-of-season revenue hopefully before a major remodel- it needs it. The front desk and bar-staff were friendly and service was great. The property itself is in a beautiful and convenient location.

Nice place, we had a pool side room 3rd floor. Paid more for that room because it was pool side, but why? What is special about pool side if you’re on the 3rd floor? Only thing special about it was that the floor was sticky from the humidity from being on the pool side. I would stay again, however, I wouldn’t pay more to only be inconvenienced.

The resort is attractive and a great location on the banks of the Missouri River with awesome views. The restaurant and bar areas were very nice. Food was good in the restaurants. The room was a nice size and had a window looking out at the river. We enjoyed sitting on the patio outside our room. We had only 2 cons (Rm 154); 1) the window screen was 1 inch to small so bugs could easily fly in with the window open 2) the A/C desperately needed maintenance. It cooled good, but there was a terrible rattling noise that kept us awake. Otherwise, we enjoyed the resort. Would recommend it for families.

Nice restaurant, great bartenders, pretty setting along the river. BUT there are NO chairs in the room and the beds are super high. Really no place at all to sit. One luggage rack and NO table, desk, or other flat surface to put a second person's bag except the floor. So inconvenient and uncomfortable. I like staying here, but.....sure wish there was at least a chair in the room. It seems a small thing to expect in a hotel room.

Unable to use the coffee pot because of the filth on / in it. Exhaust fan sounded like it was on it's last revolution. Unable to access electrical outlets without moving the night table / desk, etc.

The rooms don't have all the current amenities (like chargers and easy plugs) but it was comfortable and the view outside was gorgeous. Sunrise was late and we were able to catch it and take a lovely walk. We saw lots of pets there. Most nearby restaurants won't deliver but the hotel restaurant food was decent. Seriously, though - the view. Amazing. Just don't get a room that overlooks the pool or you won't be able to see much of anything.

Worst service ever. Guy in reception at check in barely gaved us our keys. No direction, explanation , hours of restaurant nothing. In their web page breakfast appears until 11:00am. We arrived for breakfast at 10:10. They were closed! Breakfast was until 10am. No option to get food nearby. Thanks!!! Many reviews state food is terrible. Cannot say we were unable to eat here given the very restrictive hours of operation of the rest. Both for dinner and breakfast. At night there was this huge group outside having a party really loud with music. Music was turned off until 12:30 am! People continue to be laud and very drunk until 2:30 am!! There was no one in reception to report this. So if you want to be overcharged for terrible service and a view stay here. If not PLEASE look at other hotels there other options that for SURE are better and not overpriced. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The rooms were as pictured, and slept well. Having the balcony was amazing. Weather was perfect. The food is okay, priced a little high but that is expected when there isn’t anything around. The front desk staff. Terrible. They clearly hate their job and are incredibly unprofessional. The guy at check in could barely give a glance up when asked any question, his music was turned up loud so he could not hear the question anyway. The lady was a smidge better but still hateful. There is a blonde lady that went above and beyond but said she doesn’t normally work over in that area. She has the best smile and positive attitude. The hostess at the grill is also lovely and attentive. The gentleman turning the rooms upstairs this morning, also wonderful and professional.

Pool was cold enough our toddler’s teeth were chattering within 5 minutes, if that. Hot tub didn’t appear real clean. Rooms OK, outdated. Restaurant that opens at 7am for breakfast, wasn’t open by 7:25am, and there very clearly wasn’t even anyone setting up for the day, so they weren’t going to be open anytime soon. The “store” on-site doesn’t have drinks or water, and as the restaurant wasn’t open, can’t even get water without cash (exact change) for vending machine.
