Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered us a tiny room with no counter space at check-in and had the same view of a power grid. While the service was friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable, there was a hint of arrogance from valet. The location was perfect, close to river walking paths and Louie, but showed some arrogance. The dining was poor, offering only energy bars. Overall, the facilities did not stand out.
The hotel had a modern feel with a great view of a power grid, but the room was tiny with no counter space. The check-in process was smooth and professional.
I stayed at this hotel and had mixed feelings about it. The room was tiny with no counter space, had a view of a power grid, and was a little small. On the bright side, the service was very professional and accommodating, especially the valet service, although some staff seemed to relish in their arrogance. The location was perfect, close to river walking paths and Louie. Unfortunately, the dining options were poor, limited to just pizza. Despite the flaws, the hotel had some positive aspects, but also some clear drawbacks.

The service was a bit of a hit or miss; valet service seemed to relish in arrogance, but the other staff members were professional, accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. The location was perfect for river walking paths but failed in providing proximity to local attractions. Unfortunately, the dining options were limited to English muffins, offering a poor culinary experience. Despite these drawbacks, the facilities were sufficient and met basic needs.
