Place is well kept. Getting into the parking lot can be tricky coming from the south. Staff was great. Wife left her charger in the room. Called and the had it at the front desk.
Overall a nice place to stay although the front of property by highway is overgrown but I believe that would be the city’s responsibility. Clean, quiet and close to shopping.
The room was clean, the beds were very comfortable, I really loved a complete room, the kitchen with everything I needed, just what I needed, very spacious for those of us who have a large family, my children loved it, the staff was very friendly and what I liked most was that it is very Well located, very close to restaurants, shops and the river is super close, I definitely recommend it.
The room was clean and comfortable. Chris the desk clerk was very friendly. Only thing missing is complimentary continental breakfast. Unlimited coffee fresh ground coffee beans
