As you scale the hotel food chain, you generally lose amenities as the price and star rating goes up. This is the best of both worlds. An affordable nightly rate in a hotel that feels luxurious, plus all the amenities you could want. Pool, hot tub, and a complementary breakfast. Not much more to ask for.

We enjoyed our visit! This is our second time staying. The first was a couple, the second was as a family. We liked our room with a balcony and the view of the river. Great location & breakfast. Only point of concern would be that half of the jets in the hot tub didn't work.
