We liked the location. The wifi was horrible no signal. We entered our room noticed the smoke alarm was laying on the table not connected. Air conditioning only one setting. Many signs of ceiling leaking. Bathroom fan didn't work. Beds not comfortable at all need replaced. Gutters stopped up allowed rain water to come on the deck. Not enough towels, two sets for three adults . We were told half of staff called out. Didn't receive extra towels untill the last night we stayed. Management were very nice and tried there best they should get a 10 star due to the overwhelming conditions they were put in . Would we stay at Drama Inn again when we come back to visit; probably not will look elsewhere.

The only complaint is this: the beds are hard, and none of us rested good because of it. Other than that, it was a pretty good. Nice view of the river from the shared balcony.

The property was close to event we were going to...The cosutomer service was not the greatest. The room was clean but you could tell they had water damaged on the walls. Shower needed fixing and the beds were very old...it needs remolded but guess price was not to high but thought it was high far the condition of the rooms

Simple older motel with friendly staff. Very nice view of river from our balcony. Rooms aren't serviced daily, we had to go to office to get coffee packets etc each day (which was no big deal)

John at the desk was extremely helpful upon check in. The hotel is old but in great condition for its age, lovely views of the river and quiet except for trucks first thing in the morning. Middle of everywhere you would wish to go. Very reasonably priced

Horrible hotel, very dirty rooms. No reception or working WIFI. Doors don't even have a lock, all you can lock is the door knob and even a 12 year old could pop it open. They won't give you a refund if you are unhappy or feel safe in the room. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!

What to say? This is an older property with a great location on the river. I very much enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching and listening to the river. The room was clean with no odor. I slept really well in the room. When I booked the room, I was looking for inexpensive accommodation for just one night. The property is very dated and in bad condition inside the rooms and the property overall. It is a nice location but it needs a total makeover. If you book this property, don’t expect much.
