Good location. Check-in was easy. Hotel was clean. Retrieving my car from the parking lot on the day of my leaving was a "nightmare". Staff couldn't locate my car that was one of ten on the 5th floor. Finally, my friend had to go to the garage and show staff where it was. Staff seemed indifferent.

Not My Top Pick. But Not the Worse.

Well… Let me begin with the positives. Rooftop pool was nice, especially for viewing fireworks (4th of July). Conveniently located across the street from River Street (2 minutes). Bed was comfortable, sheets and pillows SMELLED clean. PLEASE NOTE: Some of what I am about to share may be “preferences” so feel free to take it or leave it. When we arrived, the first room had spots on the carpet and the shower door didn’t seal well. I immediately requested another room. The shower door sealed better but ALSO had spots on the carpet. Then the sink in the bathroom had a rust stain dripping down the side. I used a Lysol wipe and cleaned it. One of the face towels had a reddish stain on it 😳 During our stay, the AC was broken on the top floor, so the gym facilities were not available. They offered to go across the street to the Hampton Inn…not convenient 😞 Housekeeping service was provided every OTHER day and they didn’t empty all trash cans. Consider your room location. Ice maker was loud throughout the night. Our room had a huge wall with a lone window in the corner. Not much light comes into the room. TV channels were basic. Parking is $48 a day. Breakfast was ok. It wasn’t the worst hotel I’ve stayed in but I would not be in a hurry to stay again.

We arrived early after not getting much sleep and the front desk clerk worked with us and gave us a different room so we could get some much needed rest after no sleep and a stressful morning.
