The hotel was pretty good. But were told their breakfast was “unavailable” when we arrived. When traveling with kids, having continental breakfast is a must for us. Having to find somewhere for breakfast was very inconvenient.

Best hotel we have stayed in in a while now.
The hotel is very nice. Clean, comfortable beds, spacious rooms, nice restaurant on-site. Easy check in and out process. We had two rooms and were able to be next door. The lobby smelled weird but the rest was nice! Definitely stay here again.

Over all, great stay. The only thing, there was leftover hair in the bathroom from the previous guest. :( Also, needs blackout blinds. The crack about the blinds let light through.

Unexpected stay during a storm. People are friendly, the room was clean. The layout of the hotel was confusing. Noisy at night due to noise of doors between wings. Shower was confusing to use. Better snow removal would have been appreciated and expected.

Not a pleasant stay at all!!!
We booked a river view. This was the poorest river view I have ever seen, even with going out onto the balcony. We had to call the front desk as television not working she came down and fixed it. Also had to let her know the deadbolt on room door not working. We had to be switched to an upstairs room as none downstairs available. No help was offered to carry everything up the stairs after we packed our thing up to move. The bottom of the bathtub was disgusting. We had looked forward to a nice stay with a great view and were totally disappointed. The person working the front desk was not real pleasant either.

The common area in the hotel is very nice. Breakfast is grab-n-go with convenient items. The hotel has been mostly renovated to be more modern. Simple and clean construction. Nothing fancy but nice. Bathrooms are very basic.

The lobby is really beautiful and grand! And the rooms are nicely appointed. I like that there is a balcony to the room we are in. We have a view of the river. The room is very clean and the sheets are soft. Very happy!

The breakfast was just a paper bag full of bagels and Jimmy dean sandwiches. They said they had a cafe but it wasn’t even unpacked or opened so couldn’t even go. Overall the service was great and we stayed in the “new building” which was nice and upgraded and very spacious.
