Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent downtown location, friendly and helpful staff, and enjoyable breakfast options. Many appreciated the views, access to the river, and amenities like the atrium and happy hour.

Some guests also mentioned parking inconveniences and minor room supply shortages. Despite these drawbacks, the positive aspects of location, service, and breakfast stood out for most visitors.
