We picked this hotel since it was close to the marathon start/finish line. We’re coming back next June for the Ironman and staying for the same reason. The only downside was the pool was too chilly. Love the location though!

We had a good river view and the room was spacious and complete. The stay was enjoyable. The only minor issue is that we could not check in until 3 pm.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed here for a marathon. There was zero hot water in the shower the entire stay. The room smelled musty. And the room above me stomped around all night and I didn’t sleep one ounce. It was really frustrating to only have cold water in the shower after a marathon.
