Hawthorne Trip

I had a great stay.Everything was clean and well maintained. Staff was nice and helpful. The bed was so-so, firm on the less used side and a dip on the more used side.

Arriving at the hotel was the least impressive but the hotel lobby was beautiful and the staff very helpful. Our vehicle was too tall for the garage, and staff made sure there was space for us outside the main lobby. The room was huge and the view amazing. Very roomy. From what I read the rooms were once time shares, so meant for longer stays. If you smoke there’s a huge outdoor area on the same level as the bar and indoor swimming pool, billiards room, TV room and Gym. The hotel gave off a sort of classic, well made feeling in comparison to the cookie cutter hotel chains. I’m not much of a gambler but if you are you do not need to go far find it. Hotel was great for walkability, near excellent restaurants and the River.

The room is a condo, so don't expect to get hotel level service. Parking is a hassle. You have to use your phone to gain access to anything in the building, so make sure it's charged. Overall it's a nice place for the price. I'd have to give it another shot to see if it fully meets or exceeds my expecations.
