The chef created breakfasts, prepared to order - delicious!!! Staff were so pleasant and really making an effort to be considerate and accommodating. Room was nice, quiet and ample parking available. Across the street from the river and a beautiful park, and a couple sports bars within walking distance. The hotel is about 11 yrs old, but it looks brand new-really well cared for and maintained. Highly recommended and will stay again the next time in town.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location, super friendly staff, above average complimentary breakfast. Literally my only complaint is that our room had this weird sliding door for the bathroom that was very difficult to close, and didn’t offer great privacy when closed. Otherwise a great hotel, and a great stay. Would be very happy to stay again.
