Once we figured out the a/c, (the thermostat on the wall didn’t control it), it worked great. Sent staff right away but we had figured it out. Nice sized room, reasonable price for downtown. Bed was a little sinky but I slept well. Steps away from the casino venue so we could walk. No breakfast and parking is extra.

I really liked that I got upgraded to a king bed with a view of the river. That was very nice. Overall it was a good stay with a clean and quiet room. The area around the hotel is great; right along the river which is nice for a walk. The one downside is the parking costs an extra $20 a night and it is not on Hotel property, but rather a public parking garage across the road behind the hotel.
