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.

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.
