Mixed Feelings About My Stay

convenient location park entrance small size shabby bedroom
The hotel's proximity to the park entrance was definitely convenient. It made visiting the falls very easy.
I was disappointed with the small size of the room. My wife and I barely had space to move around the bed. The room lacked character and charm, it reminded me of a basic roadside motel.

small room lackluster room
The rooms were far too small. it was hard for my wife and me to pass each other on any side of the bed. the room totally lacked character. It reminded me of a cheap motel. i mentioned this to reception, they seemed to understand. but the room size ruined the stay for me. the management really needs to address this glaring issue. It spoils the whole experience.
