Rocky Waters Motor Inn

Not impressed

The only honest thing about this "inn" (please read as motel), was that it overlooked the water. It actually looks out over the water.

The small picture I see of a large place overlooking the water with trees between it and the water is inaccurate. It is the smaller, more run-down building further down on the left of the river. It is not the larger, nicer-looking building on the right. Do not be deceived. When I arrived, the door between my room and the adjoining room was unlocked (one of two such doors), the shower curtain was missing, the back sliding door was unlocked, and one of the doors on the balcony (between adjoining balconies) didn't even latch properly. The bathroom smelled of recent use and the fan/light were running. I was able to remedy the shower curtain issue. The rest of my issues were compounded when I saw strong winds rip a door off one of the balcony dividers the next day. The place overhangs the water and has stress fractures in the ceilings of all rooms (possibly as a result). It is run down, in poor repair, and the styling and layout (not to mention the furniture and appliances, are all at least 20 years old as far as I can tell. One of the dressers no longer properly lined up when all drawers were slid in. Finally, the parking was atrocious, with thick bricked columns framing the excessively tight parking spaces in the too-narrow parking lot the building had. All in all, a poor value for the type of stay you're given and too far from the attractions to be worth staying there unless you wish to pay from $2.00 per hour to $10.00 per instance for parking. I am exceedingly unimpressed with this location.
