Hotel is in the middle of renovations, but our rooms where far away from all the construction and did not have any effect on our stay.

Unacceptable in terms of house keeping, none, after asking repeatedly. Remodeling dust everywhere while eating breakfast, doors not shutting properly. Pool looked like milk. I was not happy overall

Thank Arch!
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.

We had a good river view and the room was spacious and complete. The stay was enjoyable. The only minor issue is that we could not check in until 3 pm.

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 )
