Front staff was very welcoming and friendly, parking was plentiful, rooms were spotless, and the soaps and hand lotion were high quality. We walked to a local spot for dinner by the water, so can’t comment on the hotel restaurant, but the menu looked really good. Would definitely stay here again!

The hotel smells amazing and is super clean. I love the amenities like the fruit infused water, nespresso pods, the soap/shampoo products in the room, and hot tub and sauna. The restaurant was very nice as well and the location was great- walking distance to downtown and the riverfront. I would definitely stay again!
