Great stay!
Great stay! The room was wonderful, very clean. I was very impressed by the full kitchen and the room layout.
At first, I could not figure out how to turn on the lights so I had to take a shower in the dark. Also, I had housekeeping knocking on my door at 9-9:30am on checkout day which I didn't really appreciate.
Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

Really great customer service. The walls were pretty thin so probably not the best for light sleepers

Good!
Good! The place was clean! There were a few noticeable repairs needed but nothing that prevented us from doing anything.
Pool was HELLA cold. But it was December, so that could’ve been a product of cold coming through big glass windows.

We picked this hotel since it was close to the marathon start/finish line. We’re coming back next June for the Ironman and staying for the same reason.
The only downside was the pool was too chilly. Love the location though!

We had a good river view and the room was spacious and complete. The stay was enjoyable.
The only minor issue is that we could not check in until 3 pm.

I stayed here for a marathon. There was zero hot water in the shower the entire stay. The room smelled musty. And the room above me stomped around all night and I didn’t sleep one ounce. It was really frustrating to only have cold water in the shower after a marathon.
