Easy access right off the interstate with plenty of parking and a great view of the river. Our room was not the cleanest and was a non smoking room that smelled of cigarettes on arrival. It was fine for one night last minute but a bit pricey given the condition of the room. Breakfast in the morning was adequate.

Disappointed with the quality of the room for the

Had to wait to get our keys for the room & were made to stay in the lobby for a half hour til they made sure our keys worked. When we did get to the room it was hard to find the lights to turn them on. Entering the restroom the toilt seat was ready to fall off. Why didn't the maids see this while cleaning or didn't they ckean the toilet? Went to let the front desk know & found that therir maintenance people had left for the day so they gave me tools to fix it myself. So you tell me no one else working there course go fix it? So make the people paying for the room do it! Not a good thing.

I loved that there was GOOD ham on the breakfast buffet! I will definitely stay here again, not just because of the ham, but because it was a nice place to stay. There must be a good manager, the staff all seemed to work hard while still being personable.

This is a basic hotel if you need a place to sleep and don’t care about amenities. It was unclean and smelled sour and the hallway either looked like it was being renovated or had been renovated poorly. Our room felt hot and it didn’t seem as though the air conditioning was working even though it was on, and professionalism, personableness and attentiveness of some of the staff was questionable. Walk to the downtown area was about 15 minutes and although the grassy area and skate park looked nice and well designed ed it was interrupted by the loud whirring sounds of the powerplant near the water. The downtown area was desolate and we were advised by our server in the restaurant we ate at to walk across the bridge to the East Village if we wanted something that felt cozier and more engaging.
