The staff here was amazing. Check-in was friendly and fast. Rooms need serious updates. Smelly carpet. The entire 4th floor smelled like marijuana, even though it’s a non smoking hotel. Breakfast was spot on, on time and hot. There is insufficient parking for when the hotel gets busy. The lot also isn’t easy to navigate there is only a lane on one side of each row, making you have to back out when there are no spaces and look for more. Also they jacked up the rate for Saturday. Staff good….. needs a franchise inspection.

Room was very nice and roomy. Clear and comfortable. Nice view of the river. No one was at the front desk at 5:00. Had to find the desk clerk in the back room after waiting about 3 minutes. The hall way on the 5th floor need to be cleaned. It was pretty dirty and smelly.

Comfortable hotel. Good breakfast. Parking is dicey when you arrive late. Calling the room a ‘river view’ is a stretch - mostly its traffic view. Room was ok.

The room did not represent the reviews I read or pictures posted on the website. It was dark and dingy, shower moldy and no doors on the framework on the vanity. It seemed unclean and felt uncomfortable staying in this room. The front dest girl offered another room but we declined after seeing this room.

Room was fine. Our room was next to the exit door where handicapped parking was but we could not get in the outside door at night. Had to walk around the whole hotel to get in. Wete are handicapped! Not convient at all! We did appreciate the walk-in shower and ADA toilet.
