We spent a night here to get away for our anniversary. Glad to have been so close to the river. Leah was very kind and helpful. While the hotel seemed smartly updated, the deluxe king suite wasn't really hitting. The sitting room felt cold and...
uninviting. We had a "fireplace" that was electric. This was not a significant upgrade, considering the cost. The hotel was overall clean and comfortable. The kind hospitality was appreciated.

Very nice up to date rooms. Very clean. Bed was comfortable. Didn't try the restaurant or bar. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms need a night light in the bathroom. And the 4 stars is due to the big windows in the breakfast area ne...
ed a good cleaning on a regular basis. This is a big deal to me. If the glass doors and windows in the lobby are not clean it gives a very bad first impression. Overall good stay. A bit on the high $$ side.

The hotel is nice, clean and staff are very helpful and friendly. Beds are tiny but comfortable. Other reviewers are correct--walls are tissue paper thin. You can hear the guests in the other room when they cough, sneeze, snore or flush the ...
toilet. There is no option to let the fan run all night to drown out all of the excess noise. Other guests are also correct about loud bands playing past midnight. It's a wonderful hotel if you don't mind staying awake all night. Currently laying in bed and listening to my neighbors TV. For over $200 a night, they could at least add a white noise machine to each room.

There was no one at the front desk for the majority of our stay. Found out via an email after I had already checked in that there would be no maid service the entire weekend. The second night I couldn't even park in the hotel lot because they a...
llowed a wedding party to park anywhere they pleased. Mind you they ask for your license plate number when you check in, what the hell good is that if the hotel doesn't enforce the lot for hotel guests only. People were allowed to park on the hash marks next to the handicapped parking, so I hope no one in a wheelchair needed to get in their vehicle. For $250 per night, definitely not worth it and I wouldn't recommend staying at this hotel to anyone.
