Could hear every step taken by the person on the 2nd floor and every time they flushed the toilet. And they were doing nothing unusual. Pool was supposed to open at 10am….but the gate didn’t work until they sent maintenance to fix it. Overall, very mediocre place.

We dined in the restaurant on the patio area. Beautiful view of the river. The pool area was so nice and clean. They provide towels and you can order food or drinks to be delivered poolside. What a nice place to begin our vacation! Thank you!

We were excited about the remodel and wanted to love it. The room was sparse. Bathroom felt institutional. Bed felt low quality. There was garbage in the grass next to the patio. Grass was long. Weeds were present in the surrounding bark. Patio chairs were dirty. I regret to say that the food at the restaurant was mediocre. It would take take it up a notch if the outdoor area was tended to and there were some additional touches like robes in the rooms. What the hotel has going for it is location! On the riverpath. Close to myriad activities for outdoor enthusiasts, concert goers, and campus visitors. And the newness of the remodel. Service by hotel and restaurant staff was great!

I booked this hotel for a 3-night stay based on the good reviews and photos, but the reality was disappointing. When we arrived, the room looked very worn and not at all like what was pictured. The bedding didn’t feel clean, the bathroom had visible pink mold, and the toilet had urine stains around the base. The air conditioning barely worked and had a strange odor, making the room uncomfortable overall. Unfortunately, the condition of the room did not reflect the ratings we had relied on. Luckily the front staff was very nice and we were able to cancel the rest of our stay and were refunded. We ended up relocating to another hotel about an hour away.

The property itself is very pretty. The person who checked us in was very friendly. The room itself was nice aesthetically, but it could use a bit more cleaning. There were cobwebs above the bed with a dead moth, cobwebs above the bathroom mirror, someone wiped a booger on the wall next to the toilet paper holder. The biggest issue we had, and it’s not fault of the staff, or facility, but it’s just an older hotel, it was very loud. The walls are paper thin. We heard our neighbors conversation. We also hear his alarm going on continuously at 3:30am. We heard very loud conversations in the hallway at 4am. This is not somewhere I’d choose to stay again unfortunately.

Our stay had highs & lows. The room was very nicely furnished & clean, but had a few maintenance issues. Checkin process left a lot to be desired. The walls are thin, and we heard a lot. The biggest sound issue are the room doors; they’re very heavy & have no slow-close feature so the whole night we kept hearing doors slamming hard, including very late and very early. Our shower had an awful screeching sound that felt like my brain was scrambling. I didn’t have time to call maintenance because I was already running late for dinner after how difficult check in was. Checkin was a poor experience. The agent told us we couldn’t use my husbands credit card because I booked the room in my name (we’re married with the same last name, that shouldnt have mattered.) The process took several minutes of typing and clicking, and after 2-3 minutes I asked him if there was a problem but he ignored me and just kept at it. Eventually he finished up and gave us keys and a short explanation of where the elevator was. We asked where we should park and he said it didn’t matter because their lot would be so full tonight we’d be lucky to find a spot anywhere. When we went to park, what he’d said was wildly untrue and there were plenty of spaces. But without any decent guidance on where our room actually was we had to repark later anyway. This is a huge sprawling hotel with several different wings and at least 2 separate buildings, they should give people some sort of map, we often felt lost.

The property itself is great. Someone spent a lot of money remodeling this property. It almost feels more like a campus than a hotel. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The only downside would be the original single-pane windows. I'm sure those too will be updated eventually. Everything else was great!

Had a great stay, the room was clean, large, and comfortable, the air conditioner worked really well, really came in handy during the heatwave. It was recently renovated so everything was new, and didn’t seem like they’ve spared any expense, there’s a white noise machine! It’s located right next to the riverfront trail and they have bikes available to guests. Would definitely stay here again if I’m back in the area.

When I call the number the guys who answered said is name was James and when I called back the same guy said his name was Edward. He stated he could not help me and text me a number. When I call the number they request an itinerary number, I only have an Expedia Itinerary number so no one will help me. Absolutely ridiculous!!

Our room was near the end of the hall where there was a seating area in the hallway. People tended to sit there to visit and it was very noisy. The women who helped us with checkin seemed to be bothered that someone was there to wait on. Overall, the stay was just okay.

This is an absolutely beautiful location. We had a lovely room overlooking the river with an ice patio and a paved walking /biking path along the river. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed and seating area and a spacious bathroom. Nice big screen tv and a steamer to get the wrinkles out of clothes too! The little dorm fridge with the strong freezer helped a lot because we froze the cold packs for our ice chest. There’s a really nice restaurant in the hotel with excellent food and cocktails called the Sweet Waters on the River. We had the clam chowder and salmon with a one of the best old fashioned cocktails I’ve had. Get that with the Maker’s Mark and it’s delicious. We actually went back another night and shared the fish & chips. Overall it’s a great location and be sure to try the restaurant because it’s right on the river and a great romantic dinner kind of place.

I think the food choices in the dining and bar area were very mediocre. They need a new chef and menu. The place was empty ALL the time. No one at the bar, no one inside the dining room... few outside diners when there were people there. It was better before the fire closed it, but still I think if they improved the food, they would get more people coming there. We were there for 10 days. I've been staying at this hotel for 15 years... and I have never seen it so empty. Maybe the rooms fill up just not the restaurant. Oh, and the coffee in the lobby is awful. It comes out of one of those instant machines, what is it: coffee syrup and water? Even if you brought out the HOT pump type, it would be better than what you have there. And, another thing, I don't like that the sink is in an alcove, outside the toilet and shower room. You have to come out of the bathroom, to wash your hands, etc. No place to put anything when you do take a shower.
