We stayed here for our daughter’s Jamz competition and they were great! The rooms were very clean and to standard, the hot tub and pool was also great! Also we loved being able to use the ping pong tables. We definitely recommend staying here!
If you are seeking fluffy pancakes and a delectable egg omelette, this establishment is the ideal destination. Simply stop by for a quick meal. The food was exquisite. Thank you, Martha and Tina, for providing exceptional service that put a smile on my face. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The food was served warm. However, we were disappointed to find that the men's and women's restrooms were not clean. Nevertheless, we were warmly welcomed by Veronica and Susana at the front desk. We will come back for breakfast again.
We stayed here for a concert that was at the arena right next door. Location was perfect, parking for the hotel was easy. Room was clean and the property had a nice bar, restaurant and outdoor seating area. We didnt use the pool but it looked nice. There are some transients outside the fenced-in area of the hotel along the river, but none ever bothered anyone or came around the property. Overall we liked it and will definitely stay there again for another concert. Would have liked to have a free breakfast offered but the restaurant there had good breakfast for a decent price.
Mike was super nice! He eased the stressfull day i had.! Even though he was pushing this big cart on his way to his little store, he stopped and helped me. Its a bit pricey but its worth it. Other hotels are a bit low priced, but what can i say, Arrogant front desks, with no customer service skills
The hotel was clean and the staff was great. The location was great. It is an older hotel with a nice remodel. The room only has a desk chair and not a comfort chair. Loved the apartment size fridge but the carpet was badly stained. The courtyard and bar area is amazing . I would stay again.
