Simple maintenance & cleaning needs attention

This place has real potential, great location, and nice employees. But they need to have a serious talk with maintenance AND housecleaning. We arrived late, and realized the light switch at the door did not turn on a light, so we entered in the dark and found the one lamp/bulb out of 4 that worked; the switches on the lamp appeared to be beaten off, so I told the nice young lady working, because I didn't want to be accused of doing the damage. Told her we were fine with one light, because it was late and we were tired. I noticed it appeared that towel racks, lamp shades and a few other places were extremely dusty like they had not been touched in a long, long time. My husband wanted a shower, and realized the shower head didn't work and I planned to take one in the am, so that was another trip to the desk. She moved us to another room; most of the lights and the shower worked (we checked before unpacking this time); but the towel racks & lamp shades still excessively dusty and dirty. None of these are hard things to fix; hopefully they will take attention to these simple matters very quickly!!

Hannibal weekend

The only negative was the humidity in the walkways. There is a pool open to the whole interior of the hotel. The humidity is off the charts. The parking is very convenient. The restaurant across the street is cheap and good. Downtown is 2 blocks away. Lots of antique stores and restaurants within walking distance. We were overall very happy with this hotel. Request the 3rd floor for a view of the Mississippi River.

Mattress upgrade needed

The bed was not comfortable due to the hard mattress. Otherwise the room was satisfactory. We enjoyed the hot tub and the breakfast.

Front desk lady wonderful. Windows dirty which is frustrating when paying a premium for Mississippi River view. Rooms at back of hotel only look into the hotel. Could be disappointing for people who travel a long way to see the Mississippi and end up staring at a grey wall. Expedia should specify on site rooms that have no outside window
