There was no hot water during my stay. I complained to the front desk but it wasn’t fixed. I don’t know if it was due to the cold weather or not.

Very clean, excellent staff, the breakfast is fully cooked hot breakfast with a lot of different options. The only thing is there is no vent in the bathroom, so very humid when you shower.

The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. I liked how clean and updated the hotel was. Nice new bathroom, comfortable mattress. The only thing I noticed is the absence of a coffee maker in the room or in common area like the lobby. But once you go down for breakfast buffet- it’s a feast with great coffee and variety of breakfast options. The area where the hotel is located is great as well, right by the Riverside park which is also a beautiful place to visit, walk or run there.

The staff was friendly and professional. The rooms were clean and comfortable. They couldn't find my reservations in the system so a sweet young lady made one for me. Im not sure if that was an error on Expedia's end or not but she fixed it.
