Parking was across thw street, which was not very convenient. Room was not ready at check in time and it looked like it wasn't cleaned well, if at all. Room was not restocked with toilet paper, garbage bags or paper towels i had to go get them.

A weekend getaway with the Mrs.

Pool, Sauna, jacuzzi. Are pleasing to my ears and an amenity that is necessary why accommodating on the road. Having some nerve damage and pain helps me get through the day so that’s a plus and come in here made my trip so much more comfortable along with having access to breakfast on a daily at no additional cost restaurant located within the hotel and a ton of other things to do within walking distance. The rooms were very spacious, comfortable clean. There was an exception of our room where I could see the corner beam protruding out of the wall on a finished war. Otherwise, the room was in good condition. The hotel was in good condition and it was in a perfect location in Canal Park right off the water.

Great location, and sizable room. Soap and toilet paper were both running very low when we checked in, and we had to make multiple visits to the front desk to replenish. The room had a foldout couch, but no linens I’m the room - so that was another visit to the front desk. We still enjoyed our stay and I do t think any of these are deterrents - just be aware.
