Nice stay

Original room on the fourth floor had a repulsive sewage smell coming from the bathroom. The front desk manager was very helpful and switched us to another room on a different floor. Parking was awful as there is not enough parking spots for the size of the hotel. Overall stay was good. Room was clean. Staff was welcoming and nice.

Friendly & amazing

We stayed here after a day out celebrating St. Paddy's day fun with friends. The room was spacious & comfortable. Breakfast the next morning offered a lot of options and we were greeted immediately upon entering. The staff was super friendly from checking in, to checking out. Will definitely stay here again!

Good hotel

Very friendly staff, good breakfast, good coffee, decent location. Parking lot got packed Saturday night. I was disappointed it wasn’t on the river but I probably just didn’t read the description clearly.

Our room was clean. There was an awful odor coming from the bathroom that filtered out into the entire room. We had 2 rooms and both smelled bad. Beds were comfortable. Pool was nice, Pool bathroom disgusting, unusable. Breakfast Lady was so nice, kept area clean. There was something for everyone to choose from. Would we stay here again... probably not. None of us could stand that odor in our rooms.
