It was a nice hotel and the staff was great. Did not realize there was a parking fee, but that was my fault in missing it. All Around good stay but I have had better for a lot less in the price. Would recommend if you are wanting to be downtown it was a great location for that.

Our room overlooked the river. It was fun to watch the eagles fly over & dive into the little open water there was available on the river. We were a little disappointed the pool & hot tub were not available during our stay.

Mike

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We were unaware of the $20 parking fee added on to an already expensive room it would have been helpful to have been posted before reservation. The breakfast was honestly awful mini portions,soggy and cold food especially compared to previous stay at separate hotel with multiple fresh options, it was a let down to anxiously wake up to, after a long day and night downtown the day before. It unfortunately just was not worth the cost of the room. We also were unable to use the hot tub, again after a long day due to not wanting to crash the party going on it was not respectful of others. We do want to add the guest services were helpful and pleasant.

We enjoyed our visit! This is our second time staying. The first was a couple, the second was as a family. We liked our room with a balcony and the view of the river. Great location & breakfast. Only point of concern would be that half of the jets in the hot tub didn't work.
