Very nice hotel.

This is a very nice hotel, clean, modern close to shopping and dining. The trail next to the hotel is an outstanding feature, and the Japanese Maples on the property are simply lovely. Would stay here again without hesitation.

We booked a river view, but were given a ground floor unit with an obstructed river view. There was shrubbery that blocked much of the river view from the window. It's not accurate advertising to call some of the ground floor units at this hotel "river view." They should be called "partial river view" so people know what they are paying for.
