Would stay again

Very nice and clean motel. We reserved a balcony room which was worth the extra money. The body wash was empty but was provided a new one upon request. The tv remote did not work but was fixed immediately when attention was brought to front desk. Would stay again. Walking distance to downtown.

Considering there was a convention going on it was really quiet at night. I enjoy the rooms. The breakfast wasn’t that great and the staff there didn’t even say hello or ask if I wanted water. They were often out of items on the buffet. The gym was dark and musty but I had it all to myself which I enjoyed. I love the River view and the impromptu music in the lounge.
