Excellent Hotel Experience
really good staff unlimited coffee clean room easy parking
The staff displayed really good friendliness and helpfulness. Their service was amazing. I appreciated the unlimited coffee/espresso/latte and cappuccino machine. It worked great 24 hours. The room was clean, and parking was easy after driving from out of town. The hotel's location allowed easy access to many attractions.
The room lacked a fridge. This was slightly inconvenient for storing drinks.

a riverfront dream
prime location easy self-check-in complimentary water
the location was unbeatable, close to the riverwalk and easy to get to many city attractions. self-check-in was easy (a concierge helped guide me) even arriving late. complimentary water bottles were available on my floor, a thoughtful touch for weary travelers.
i did notice slow elevators, occasionally used by housekeeping staff, that added to the wait times.

the hotel is near the main river running through the city and also situated centrally for easy access to shops and dining. the blue line from the airport is about a ten-minute walk to the hotel, convenient for travelers.

Acceptable stay experience
clean room sufficient space high temperature ineffective fan
The staff checking me in was helpful. The room was very clean. There was enough space for my belongings.
My room temperature would not go under 75. The front desk said they would reach the engineer. An employee brought a fan, this couldn't cool down the room.
