Poplar River Condos

Poplar River Condos

8/10 Good
"Room was better than described. Latest designer colors, fixtures, water color pictures, night lights in bathroom, bed and furniture comfortable. Refrigerator worked and had a freezer; couldn't fit 3/4L Figi water standing up. I think the base board heat has Celsius thermostats so don't set the temp to 65 in the winter. Fire place has a standard US thermostat, didn't use it. Showering in the whirlpool tub, first day was like standing on a wet marble, my feet kept sliding to the outside edges. My wife said she was fine with it, so I did better the second day. Took six hours to drive there and the sign is set back in the entry so I missed it and had to turn around. Drove in and looked for a office or the 580 address, NOPE. I brought one piece of paperwork, had my phone, called a number, got AI and found another number, then AI put us in a loop, Then asked for operator, rep. adv. person hit the 0 and I got someone. Oh, then found out I was supposed to do some other stuff. Check your text messages, there was another thing that sends you to your code and also gives you a room number. found the building, the room typed in the code and the door opened. put our stuff in the room, went to dinner, came back and the code didn't work. Called again and while I was talking to a rep the lady from next door said after you type in the code you have to hit the check mark. I left my glasses in the car and she had hers, so it worked. No problems the next three days."

"This was an awesome hotel one of the best "budget" hotels i've stayed in. A staff was super nice and helpful. Everything's clean the rooms were nice and big with lots of room. There were plenty of things to do in the hotel on a rainy day. The pool area was super nice with a big hot tub, and sauna that were well kept. Location was peaceful and quiet. There was even a fire pit area in the hotel provided s'mores packs which I thought was a nice touch. The morning breakfast was really good as well. Would definitely stay here again"

"The location was great, the price was affordable, and for being an older motel, it was well-maintained and clean with amenities such as a refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave. The window boxes filled with beautiful flowers outside each room added a homey touch and showed the attention to detail of the caretakers. We would definitely stay here again!"
