Breakfast was a very complete offering, and included scrambled eggs made that morning by the breakfast staff actually cracking eggs! Bed was comfortable, not sure that air conditioning unit was operating well: it got cool but was very moist in the room and the unit made some odd sounds. Staff was great, all that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Location is really good, walking distance to river and restaurants and city EV Chargers.

Solid stay!
Everything was great. Loved the spacious lobby with lots of seating and light. The room was clean and comfortable. Sadly, they were clearly understaffed for breakfast service. Everything was constantly running out and no one was really cleaning tables or anything.

The beds were very uncomfortable and the walls were thin. Room was small and did not fit the luggage cart easily. I hit my leg twice on a metal piece on the side of the bed. Several lights in the room did not work properly.

Excellent Service
Palwasha checked us in. She was wonderful, and a wealth of knowledge about the area. Also, she was so patient with all my questions.Kylee checked us out and was excellent. She was also very knowledgeable. Amber, the woman who was in charge of breakfast was amazing. She went above and beyond, getting me carmel for my coffee. Such a pleasant woman. All three of these ladies are truly assests to your organization.
