A trip to Bentleyville
I went with my daughter, her husband and two of my granddaughters. The views of the lake and ships are really cool, as is the boardwalk right outside. The hotel is very well kept, clean and friendly. The stay there was wonderful. The beds and linens were clean and comfortable. As was the room. Their breakfast buffet is top notch. So many choices and they all tasted good. We stayed just one night to see Bentleyville with the girls. That was spectacular and we all had a good time. We are hoping to make another trip this summer and we plan on staying at this hotel. A little hint: if you want a suite with a balcony, book early

Lift Bridge
Location and view was awesome. The hotel parking lot and layout was good. The Breakfast was great. Suggest closing the breakfast area for the cleaning at 10am. Bathroom tub drain was very slow. Some cob webs in ceiling/wall corner. The pictures and details of the room I selected on Hotels indicated a fire place. Our room did not have a fire place. Hotel staff indicated that they are not responsible for 3rd party booking sites content. ???

Find another hotel!
We drove several hours to find that our room wasn’t ready even though several other people got a room. Desk person not very accommodating or helpful other than to say check back. Had to meet family and couldn’t freshen up. Checked twice room still not ready. Given text info about their cleaning policy but our room hadn’t been cleaned after 2 nights. Found out you had to request cleaning-that wasn’t mentioned. Breakfast potatoes for three days were soggy and old. Wouldn’t stay here again! High price for subpar hotel. Only plus was it’s close to the aerial lift bridge.

Pleasant experience, great views
We loved the location and our room had a wonderful view of the water. The room is comfortable, the public spaces were clean, the staff was friendly, and check in was quick and easy.
The breakfast left a little something to be desired, but they still had plenty of tasty options. Even though we were on the ground floor, we did not find any noise from the outside disturbing us.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and we hope to stay there again in the future.

Always get the top floor if you want sleep
We've stayed here several times with zero problems until this time. Bed was hard & squeaky. We were on 2nd floor. People above us sounded like they were gonna come through our ceiling! They were loud from 3am on. I finally got up at 6am after laying in bed listening to the crap. We did let the front desk know. All they said was sorry.
