My son went to the swimming pool area and stepped on glass while walking to the pool. Some blood but not serious. Our fold out couch bed had large metal spring sticking out of the side! I considered it dangerous! We had an extra pillow and blanket brought up. When the lady delivered the pillow and blanket we showed her the metal spring sticking out of the fold out bed. She agreed it was a danger and she would tell her manager and have them call me. Quite disappointing no follow up from the manager! I will say the staff at the front desk when we checked in were extremely polite and professional! Due to NO follow up from the manager we will not stay at this hotel again. This is sad to see for the awesome staff at the front desk they have to have this underperforming management! we stayed in room 301 checked in on 10/24/2024 aproximatly 3pm pillows delivered and report of the dangerous fold out bed on 10/24/2024 aprox 9pm wish I would have taken pictures of the injury and fold out bed as I see now that I could have uploaded the pictures quite disappointing.........

Meh. The entrance is odd. It had 2 gigantic dumpsters taking up more than half the entrance parking and it's located on narrow street. Room had a musty smell; not terrible but was there. The hotel ran out of hot water by 2 pm on a Sunday and didn't get restored until 8 pm. Courtyard was nice, but would be better if spider webs and trash was cleaned up better. The front desk representative named Dee was super nice and awesome.

Good location. The layout of the building was somewhat confusing. Our room window faced a blank outside wall. Seemed to be doing a lot of updating and construction. Hallway carpets and elevator floors were dirty and stained. Bed was very comfortable and room was well appointed with a kitchen and bar area and clean. Wall light on bed wall was broken and shelf in bathroom was about to fall off along with the tp holder. Reported to front desk. Very good selection of options for breakfast.

Arch at reception was so helpful and patient. I was traveling with my 87 year old father and Arch helped me to make sure he was in a safe and comfortable room. He really saved me and my mental health! Much appreciated!

The TV did not work and could not be fuxed, so we were moved to a construction floor. The swimming pool and spa were unavailable. The beautiful pastries on the site were actually muffins in plastic bags. "Sleeps 4" included a nice king bed and a pullout sofa with and extra thin mattress pad that came with a package of sheets. So really only a room for two. There were homeless people in the area, and two big blue dumpsters at the front door. All of this, plus $20 a day to park.

Horrible stay. Checked into a 85 degree room and had to be moved. The whole hotel lost power during the night and it got so hot. The whole third floor (where they had us stay) was under construction and a complete mess. No pool or hot tub. The elevator was not working. I took a video of it, as it was so bad. I don’t know what to say. But it was a huge disappointment for me.

Staff was great. Hotel was pretty clean, but not perfect. Our first night, our AC hardly worked and the bed was rock hard, so we switched rooms. Second night was much better.

Convenient location. Staff is courteous. Didn't go swimming because the water was freezing cold, so please get that fixed. The coffee creamer in the hotel room was expired and when I poured it in the coffee, it was curdled. ( please check your expiration dates )

The customer service was outstanding and you can’t go wrong with the location of this hotel!! Only thing this hotel needs is some updating and renovation to their pool and hot tub. If your looking at a hotel for there pool & hot tub this isn’t the one for you. The pool felt like hose water and the hot tub is just warm. But overall we enjoyed our stay!!

Loved it, the train people are talking about is really quiet. Very good tracks are laid by this hotel, so you don't notice it. Except for kids that love seeing trains.

The property seems to be getting a little run down (e.g. the toilet paper holder was loose and sagging -- no big deal, but hey). I'd go 4.5 stars, for sure, because a couple facility issues aren't worth a full star, but I can't quite go five stars. Breakfast was phenomenal with regard to choices, amounts, and ease of self service. Bananas were crap, but what can you do. I am not saying a Michelin chef was on site hand-making crepes, but come on -- it's a continental breakfast. And staff was hustling, especially at breakfast, every time I looked. Been here before, and will likely go back!

We booked a long ways out and 3 days out from our stay Expedia the same room was significantly less than what we booked for. I asked the front desk about it and they said they couldn’t honor the price even though I had proof on this app of the lower price. The property is showing it’s age also

The staff was very welcoming, so that’s good. My room had an overpowering smell of Glade air freshener but that wasn’t enough to cover the smell of cigarette smoke. I never book a smoking room but perhaps I forgot to specify non smoking. Anyway. Mattress was extremely uncomfortable - hard with no cushioning at all. The hotel is on a railroad track and trains came through TWICE during the middle of the night. I sleep like a rock but both times it was so loud (finally I can use ‘like a freight train’ literally) I almost jumped out of my bed.

Good location in downtown - can walk to many restaurants and it is next to a river walking path. Clean, can cook in room if you want since it had all basic necessities. Breakfast was nice had a lot of options including items that were gluten free.
