Breakfast was absolutely terrible! Our rom which the employee told us was the best room in the hotel was on the 6th floor, the patio door wouldn’t lock so we were left with no sleep due to our children in the room and making sure they didn’t wonder out there. We called the front desk to get the lock fixed and nobody ever showed up. The dust cobwebs around the room were everywhere and the bed and pillows were so flat and uncomfortable. I reached out to see what Dan be done and of course still no response! Other’s rooms were so humid water was literally dripping down the walls. We didn’t dare go in the pool the water was so cloudy it undoubtedly needed treated. There wasn’t a single smell of chlorine anywhere near that pool like one would expect for a public pool.

Great clean place
very nice and clean. workers were great and friendly. Loved the personalization of adding my name on the tv. It was cute. Bed and pillows comfy, got good rest. Loved our river view even though when booking it said they were out of river view. Parking garage was reasonably priced and convenient to use. Loved that there’s a pool and hot tub. Will stay again and recommend!

I would stay again.
The stay was nice. We had to pay to park in the garage that’s attached to the hotel. The rate wasn’t too bad. My wife and I are disabled the room we pick was ADA room. The room was very clean and nice. The bathroom is not ADA compliant. The toilet is too low and very hard to get up from. The shower chair is attached to the wall. It didn’t look safe. The hot tub in the swimming pool area was a disaster. Missing tiles, dirty and too much chlorine. Burned my eyes. The breakfast was the real treat. I loved my experience with the breakfast. I just wish they stayed open longer. We barely was able to get our food as the staff was closing. We wasn’t upset it. The staff was very nice. The overnight staff guy was really friendly and helpful.

Expensive and somewhat disappointing
Rooms were clean. Breakfast was average. Hotel staff was friendly. But I feel like the price was way out of line. Plus 15 dollars a day to use their parking ramp. Kidsvpeed in the pool so the only amenities we came for weren’t available to us as they closed the pool. Two night stay with parking was almost 600 dollars to not get to relax in the hot tub. Not worth that price point
