We loved the large size of our room for an extended stay. The balcony over the river was beautiful. Two things that were a bit of a problem...#1- we booked very early and thought we had a good rate. When we arrived, we found the rooms to be about half what we were charged on the Expedia site. #2- The luggage carts were not in great shape and one of them actually came apart. Luckily we had used a different one for the hanging clothes or there would have been a disaster.

We had a great stay! When we first arrived, there was a large tarp blowing in the wind near our patio, but it was removed the next day, which we appreciated. Overall, the hotel was clean, safe, and comfortable. As a single mom traveling with two boys, I felt secure the entire time. We walked everywhere or took the trolley, which was super convenient. The hot breakfast was decent and a nice way to start the day. No complaints here—we had a wonderful trip and would definitely stay again!

Great for families

Rooms were huge but no kitchen for a suite. Second TV was not connected (as seen in picture) but the main one had full options. Great for a stay with four kids. Breakfast was the typical eggs and sausage with bread options, juice, coffee yogurts. Would prefer from gluten free bread, greek yogurt. But for the price none of these are complaints. For the price this place was clean affordable.
