I stayed in a deluxe king balcony suite for 1 Saturday night for $307. I'll probably not stay in this hotel again for this price. Over priced for what was given. There was nothing that made me go, good thing I paid extra. The goods - The hotel was clean. The staffs were friendly and helpful. There were sitting tables during breakfast. Multiple entry doors made carrying luggage simple. The bad - I expected more for $300 a night in a deluxe suite. I slept in cheaper hotels before and my room at Lift Bridge felt more like a $150 standard room at most. The bed was too firm and the blankets were thin. Woke up cold. There was no complementary toothpaste. I had to request from the front desk. There was Netflix but I had to sign into my own personal account to watch. All the movies available were rent to watch. The balcony was okay, nothing great for the extra cost.

The city view room we had was huge. The sitting area was separate from the sleeping area and both were extra spacious. Could have easily fit a rollaway bed (or 2) in the bedroom area, plus the sitting area couch folded out. Totally recommend for family (room 314). We enjoyed the balcony the most - great people watching!!!! Will return here.

Great view and friendly, helpful staff. At the desk they took credit card while there were two pending charges for two rooms on my card. Will wait and hope that the extra charge does not go through. Booked through Expedia and this may be a problem on their end.

After I booked this hotel through Expedia, the hotel informed me that they do not guarantee the number of beds requested, since it was a “third party” reservation. So I didn’t know we would actually get two beds until we checked in. Then it took 3 different key cards to get us into the room. Then the TV didn’t work, and that took 3 visits from staff to resolve. Staff was helpful and the hotel is great, but when you’re tired from traveling, these little problems add up.
