This property was in a great location. We visited the River Museum and Aquarium, which is right next door. Justin, at check in, was very friendly and helpful. He gave us some great recommendations for places to eat and have a beverage. We greatly enjoyed 7 Hilla Brewing Company and the famous hamburger at Paul's Tavern. We also enjoyed the hearty breakfast at Tony Roma's with the incredible view of the river.

They had hidden fees and the price was way too high . We didn’t get a pass to the water park . So it could’ve been way cheaper. We never go there again.

Good stay but could be better.

Staff were great. Our room was clean. Bathtub did not drain well. No complimentary shampoo. Continental Breakfast was ok. OJ was watered down. Toasted didn’t work well. Hotel needs some updating.
