Always love this hotel and have been coming to it for years. Although it is a bit dated (they are doing renos this year though), the location to downtown is prime. In addition it has a nice pool area and restaurants. It is also right next to the river if you like walking. Several museums just up the street from you, gas station, movie theatre, and liquor store are about a block away as well as many, many restaurants. There is a mall and grocery store about a two blocks away as well. Staff is friendly and underground parking is available (for a fee). The rooms are a nice size with a good-sized balcony. Coffee maker and tea kettle in the room but microwave and ice on different floors sometimes. I would highly recommend this place overall.
