Fantastic location right on the river, very clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay. Everything was top notch, except the included breakfast leaned more toward an average hotel breakfast and could be elevated. Overall loved our stay and would return
Because I only used this room to sleep in, I did not use any amenities. The room was very clean, the staff was super helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
We loved the balcony and the rooftop bar. The weather was amazing for sitting and walking outside. Loved the walking path along the river. All the staff were friendly, helpful and was a lovely stay.
Great shops , restaurants and brewery nearby
Our stay here was awesome! On-site resturaunt that overlooks the river. Our stay came with complementary breakfast that was excellent. The room we stayed in was clean. It was quiet even if they had the community fiesta going on to the park next to us.
