    We had a good experience here. Breakfast was good. The front desk service was wonderful! We got to the hotel late and forgot milk for pit 1year old and the front desk gave us a couple milks from the Breakfast fridge! It was so nice to not have to run to the store that night. The hot tub wasn't working but it was slightly warmer than the pool, that was a huge bummer because he picked that hotel specificly for the hot tub. The location is great. I wish we would've had more time and we could've ventured around downtown. Nothing is really updated except the front area, but rooms were clean!

    This hotel was very nice. We had a river front room with a great view of the river. The large balcony was great. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Loved the floor to ceiling window next to the bed. I fell asleep looking at the river and the city skyline. You want room 616 if it’s available. Staff was awesome and breakfast was good. The area around the hotel was quiet and seemed safe. Lots of dry covered parking in the parking deck. Plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance.
