King bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was good. Staff member Emily was very helpful. Good location close to East Village. Easy garage parking. No USB charging points in room. No shelves or drawers in bathroom and limited towel rails. Limited storage for clothes etc, in room. Had to point out twice that room thermostat needed replacing. Room door was very difficult to open after being unlocked.

The staff at check in wasn’t very welcoming, and breakfast staff was shutting the doors on guests several minutes prior to breakfast ending, so it didn’t seem as though the staff appreciated their customers. Our room was also not as clean as I’d expect, with popcorn and chunks of food in the corners.

Our shower wouldn’t warm up. They told us someone would come check it out in 30 minutes. We finally got it to get somewhat warm enough to take a quick shower.

Everything was very clean and useable. We had a handicapped shower in our room. When taking a shower, water went everywhere. Not anyone's fault for that. Just a a hassle to clean up after a long day.

Not bad
We were in town for a concert at the state fair. Check in & check out was easy. Only thing was the eggs were cold at breakfast & the parking garage had very tight spaces and didn’t flow very well.

Property itself was nice and the customer service was adequate, however we do have one major issue. My girlfriend and I spent one night and about 36 hours after coming home we both noticed we have small bug bites that look like bed bugs. This is not very good for the price we paid we thought we would get better. It's a shame, we would probably stay there again, everything else about the river view suite is worth it.
