There was no hot water during my stay. I complained to the front desk but it wasn’t fixed. I don’t know if it was due to the cold weather or not.

The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. I liked how clean and updated the hotel was. Nice new bathroom, comfortable mattress. The only thing I noticed is the absence of a coffee maker in the room or in common area like the lobby. But once you go down for breakfast buffet- it’s a feast with great coffee and variety of breakfast options. The area where the hotel is located is great as well, right by the Riverside park which is also a beautiful place to visit, walk or run there.

The extra in door space in the lobby and outback was really nice. The heaters outside were excellent to sit during the evening w lots of space and was gated. Beds were not comfortable and getting hot water during a shower was limited. Wings at their bar were excellent and had lots of menu options. Nice bar area as well. My husband walked across the street to Publix’s and multiple homeless approached him.
