Very clean, excellent staff, the breakfast is fully cooked hot breakfast with a lot of different options. The only thing is there is no vent in the bathroom, so very humid when you shower.

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 Property and Staff were very great! Loved that about this hotel the most. These kinds of experiences want to make you come back! We just had an incident with the fire alarm going off but the hotel staff was friendly and very accommodating. The alarm was out of their control and they were very understanding with us. Great Hotel, definitely would recommend to anyone!
