I just adore this hotel. been coming for years and it just keeps getting better and better (hotel zero OG!) the staff are so warm and accommodating. great management! restaurant was excellent and the bed was so comfy! also cute little gym! i suggest you get a room on the parking lot side. although the river view is scenic there is a train that passes through and can disturb the peace :)

This could’ve been much better. There was no coffee maker in the room, no hairdryer in the room, no security lock on the room door. Security was a concern. The door between my room and the one next-door had a key lock. No security lock on it. That made me nervous. Finally, not enough plugs by the debt nor at the desk. Come on guys. It’s 2025. We’re all traveling with multiple electronics.

It was the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in! Housekeeping should be commended!!!! The hotel is very clean and updated. Very comfortable beds and calm relaxing decor. If noise bothers you, you may want to ask for a less populated floor. While you can hear people go in and out it was not a big deal for us. Additionally a train goes by… again… did not bother us at all but if you are a light sleeper pack earplugs. The lobby is gorgeous and gives you a nice space to relax out of your room if you want to. There’s a tv tables and comfy couches and space to work if you need to. We were bummed the restaurant wasn’t open but it was snowing and I’m sure not busy enough to stay open. We booked already for October when we will be in town again. I plan on calling because the price for October is nearly triple what we paid. I’m hoping it is a mistake.

The hotel was newly renovated, and they did a beautiful job. It is clean and very appealing- very zen. Nice, comfortable beds. And a bonus: they use Malin & Goetz brand toiletries! For those who don't know that brand, it's high end and their stuff is amazing. My only complaint, and it's a very small one, is that they have one of those modern design showers where there is a tub with a half glass wall, and then no door on the other half. So you only have protection from the water going all over the floor if you carefully stand in the half of the shower that is close to the shower head. This was a little more challenging when I was trying to not get my hair wet.
