If you like a lot of options for breakfast, it's included! I was happy I was able to bring my dog, and that we could walk near the river. The staff impressed!

The property has only been open for about 6 weeks, so it is squeaky clean. The woman at check in was very cheerful and told us how long she would be on duty if we needed anything the breakfast was impressive. Waffles, pancakes, eggs (real not powdered!), bacon and even a carnitas bar!

This hotel is so new it’s not currently visible on Google maps. The room was so quiet, the climate control was perfect and the bed was comfortable. Instead of adding parking to the room bill you pay using an app through a QR code. I will stay at this location again.

A very new property.. staff were very friendly and a very nice variety for breakfast. Only thing that caught my attention. My room was very small. I would stay again and recommend friends.

Clean, quiet and new. Water pressure excellent. $12. /night to park stinks! The lot was not even full at night and it was self parking, no frills. This price range should NOT have a fee for a basic parking lot. Tried sitting in “new” lounge area but told I couldn’t because they were taking photos for their new web page. Hey, I’m paying for this! That’s like being barred from using the pool in 90 degree weather at a resort. Should have comped the parking at least! Would not honor government rate saying I had to book online for that. Not so at other equitable hotels. Breakfast was delish.

Liked: Staff & service
Day desk people were excellent. Hotel was designed by somebody who never stayed there. No clock. No daily clean up. We’re told it had to be requested after the fact. Upon arrival to our room, there was food left over from the prior guests. McDonald’s. Hard to find. Nobody heard of it. Breakfast was above par, but that’s it. It’s got to be on the lowest ranked Hilton. Cannot get reception or housekeeping. If you dial the front desk, you get 9ll. Too many bad things to say about it so just think twice about this place.
