The breakfast should have been on until 10am but they ran out of food by 9:20am. Only toast and waffles were available. Hot water for tea was lukewarm. They ran out of coffee cups so people were going back up to their room to get one. Hallways were not cleaned up the whole weekend. Some mold in the grout of the shower base. Pool was small but nice. Great location.

Location is great if you want to go bar-hopping. Lots of restaurants/bars close by to walk to. Riverfront was close. Had to pay too much for valet parking. The other option was a parking garage across the street. Breakfast was adequate. Staff were very nice and helpful. Bed was a little too soft for me.

At check in the front desk personnel was very kind and professional, once we got to our room the floor wasn't vacuumed well, later that evening I noticed little rolls of toilet paper on the back of the toilet seat, there were strands of hair in the shower. I would give cleanliness of the room a 1, Breakfast was good, I would rate this stay a 3 because of the room, otherwise I would have given it a 5.

Overall a good stay. Some repairs need to be made(wallpaper peeling off, drain didn't drain well, and the sliding door of the bathroom needed some attention). Honestly though the staff was great! The woman who ran the breakfast area was so nice and friendly. The other staff was good too.
