Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The room was updated and clean, a little small, but overall nice and right on the river. The staff were very nice and helpful. The property is located on the very end of the main strip just past Ober, just something to note if you plan to walk to attractions or restaurants at the opposite end. We would stay again in the future.
I didn’t like that we had to walk out side of the room to get to the elevator but we also came in the cold months so there I was expecting it to be cold just wish it was blocked it but overall the place was great we had a massive room
beautiful scenery of the river right outside the room

Disliked: Staff & service
Our stay was good, the parking lot needs cleaning or swept. Trash cans should at both ends on walkways and walkways also swept on a regular. The front desk attendant should have a more professional appearance, shirt and tie. He looked like a maintenance man not a front desk clerk.
The hotel was clean, the front desk staff was ok, they did their job but weren’t overly friendly. The hotel needs some maintenance. The breakfast was good. The best thing about this hotel is the location.
Worst Breakfast ever. There was nothing on day 1 saying the truck has not arrived. I heard the staff cursing the customers for spiling a little bit of food while serving. Overall, worse experience and dirty smell.
