    Beautiful hotel. Lots of attention to detail. Very attentive staff. Great view of the river. I liked the filtered water next to elevator on our floor. I have nothing negative to say about this hotel. It was a great stay.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location, room nice and clean, no small fridge or security box-I advise not to purchase breakfast when making reservation for the room- I paid 41$ for each breakfast and received a daily coupon for 25$

    Rooms are very noisy, outside and internal noise very audible Rooms very small, dated and not sound proof

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location was great. In an area surrounded by a lot of things to do, right on the river, and walking distance to the lake. Very close to a river boat tour that my colleague booked, and in general great spot. There were some issues with the elevators when we were onsite that were a bit frustrating. We ended up carrying our luggage down 5+ flights of stairs as it was going to make us late for a meeting.

    I really liked how the interior design was, the view and free coffee at the lounge!! Why is the bed not in front of the view but with its back (turn it?) haha. I couldnt connect with the TV after 20 tries (Connection webside was really slow and didn’t lose often).
