We thought the location was great. The desk manager noticed that I had booked a room for handicapped accessible, but we didn't need it. He gave us a complimentary upgrade, and a river view that was very considerate. It would be helpful to have directions on how to operate the TV remote. Otherwise, everything was very nice. Thank you.

First, they state on the website they are 0.9 miles from The Fillmore , which is why we stayed there and its more like 1.9. Walking that in the rain was NOT fun. Second, my granddaughter who is 13 found 2 bed bugs in her bed this am before check out. I did check the beds when we checked in but apparently not well enough The man at the desk could have cared less when I told him about the bed bugs, guess since I already paid over $400 for one night, rhey dont care.

Great location, great view….although next to freeway so noisy. Making ear plugs available to guests would be my suggestion to the hotel or to bring them yourself.
