Disappointed. Moved my daughter into college and picked this hotel because I chose a hot tub filter, no hot tub. The app needs to update this hotel has no pool and no hot tub.

The hotel was lovely and the staff was wonderful. The decor in the lobby, on the rooftop deck and in the rooms is great. However, advertising as a riverfront hotel is somewhat deceptive as you can barely see the river and most of it is dried up :( This is a city hotel, but a lovely one.

The property is very clean and modern. We enjoyed the restaurant, Siena. Food was delicious and the drinks were awesome! The staff in both the hotel and the restaurant were fantastic! The rooftop terrace was our favorite place to hang out. The location was perfect as well. Walkable to many stores and restaurants and a 15 minute drive to a beautiful beach and park. We will return in the future.
