Chevette

Disliked: Staff & service
Pros: Very nice view of the river, a park with a walking path, and places to sit by the water. It was fun to watch the planes go by, which you can hear in the room, but didn’t bother me and I’m very sensitive to noise. You can tell the rooms have been recently updated. Bed was firm, but didn’t wake up sore and the shower got nice and hot. Cons: Maybe we ended up with the worst room, but avoid room #137 if you can. The smell of cigarette smoke and marijuana was so thick that I could barely breathe. Also, the sheets were dirty and they don’t keep irons in the room (kept in the office) to prevent theft. Outside needs updating and I can tell it will be really great…eventually. Evening check-in employee was not friendly. Tried to change rooms due to the smell and he had no compassion at all.

you can tell they are renovating, but doing a good job. it is simple and quiet. they could use some better access to things like drinks and snacks, so if you grab a few before checking in you should be great.
