The staff was very friendly and welcoming!! Our room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. I especially loved the comfy beds! I was honestly surprised by how comfortable they were for hotel beds! We also had a lot of fun swimming at the pool after a yummy breakfast. We had a wonderful stay.

The hotel was as expected. The issue we had was that the website stated it was .6 miles from the baseball stadium. We assumed it would be a quick walk. That is not the case as this property is on the other side of the river. Would have been a 40 minute walk. The surrounding area did not feel safe.

Very well maintained rooms, bed was comfortable, bathroom is a great size, staff is very friendly, the breakfast was above par, plenty of parking, etc. Only gripe, if you can call it that, was when I booked I requested a ‘River View’ room….and while I could see the bridge that traverses the water, I could only see the trees between my room and the river. Great little area all around. Tons of fun things to do. I’m glad I was able to experience all that we did and overall the room experience was enjoyable.

The hotel is located next to 2 liquor stores, so at night it naturally looks a bit sketchy. However - the area seemed rather quiet, considering it being near the highway and next to liquor stores. Our check in was quick and simple! The room was neatly fixed, it smelled nice & the shower was hot. Love the pump shower dispensers! My only complaint would be the breakfast area. This hotel was very busy, but there was very limited seating. The buffet was pretty good. Overall, I would stay here again!
