Hotel was decent, clean and comfortable. Some great views, and nowhere near as bad as some reviews suggest. Service at front desk could have been more efficient and a tad friendlier. The housekeeping staff were lovely.

Stayed before and was great. This time was shoved into an awkwardly shaped room right next to the elevator that you could hear night and day. The lights worked randomly.The closet light had a mind of its own going on and off all the time. No way to shut it off or disconnect. The air conditioning was non existent. It ran but only made noise. It did not heat or cool. Thankfully the temperature hovered between 65 and 70 so not needed. Overall. It was a letdown compared to previous stay. May have to consider going elsewhere next time.

This was a great hotel for our family of three. Our first time staying with this hotel and we were upgraded to a river view room, which our 12 year old son loved! Room was great, roomy and quiet. The staff was very friendly and the on site restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced. There are lots of great spots to walk to from this hotel. We look forward to visiting again.
