Why would you advertise a drag show with children around. Not against drag shows but just keep it away from small kids.

We really liked the area. The hotel was clean for the most part. The tv remote didn’t work so I went downtown to get more batteries but that was not the issue so I went back down and they got me one from the bar. We asked for 2 additional pillows and it was a big deal. I was told they were out. We never seen more than 2 other guests our whole stay. I would probably stay again though.

Overall nice property. Hotel was clean, quiet, friendly staff. Problem with communication prior to date of stay. Received an email two days before stay that they could not honor the reservation and then another email the next day that they would have a room available. I also received an email that the pool and spa were closed but when I arrived (without a suit) I was told it had opened the day before. Overall very stressful and confusing.

Room was clean and comfortable. Plenty of space. Parking next door for $15. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Very cool area to hang around and grab a drink, have a bite and just walk the paths along the river. Would definitely stay again.

Was a bit unsure of where to park upon arrival. Perhaps I missed a note or disclaimer about that prior? If not, maybe that would be a helpful notification for guests. Otherwise, my stay was really quite accommodating. Thank you!
