Great value
Great location friendly staff and great value. The hotel is a bit on the older side so its a little worn in places but everything was very clean. The location is excellent especially for the price. Plenty of shopping, attractions, and food options in walking distance. Parking can be a pain if the place is fully booked but other than that no complaints.

We had a good stay, only one night, beside the river, but also beside the road and traffic got a little noisy in the early morning. Other than that, it was a good stay for my wife and me.

We give this hotel 2 stars. 2 stars because this is an older hotel but you can tell they’ve spent some time and money updating the rooms and breakfast area. BUT, the room smelled absolutely terrible. It smelled like rotten cheese. We found a bloody smear on the top cover. We found so many stains on the sheets. We found it gross enough that we went out and actually bought sheets and a blanket to sleep on. The towels had stains and smelled horrible. It smelled like maybe they just tried to wash and dry way too many at a time, a very musky odor.

Eh...
The room was okay. It's called a hotel with the motel feeling. Many places on the walls need extra care from previous damage. The bed sinks in the middle. The patio door is no longer fitted properly so air constantly blows into the room. You can hear the river loud and clear as well as the traffic, which was always loud and thick. No smoking is allowed on the balcony which was one of the main reasons we got the room. So that was a bummer. The remote to the TV was very finicky and did not want to work properly. Breakfast was decent but you're served the same thing everyday. The carpet is stained near the elevator, the vending machine is empty, and the elevator stinks. The place could be updated, too.
