Gute Lage am River...Ansonsten Durchschnittlich...
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels direkt am River und die Aussicht wenn man Zimmer zum Fluss bucht ist hervorragend.
Man kann viel zu Fuß erkunden,auch das Flusstaxi vor dem Hotel ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Cons:

Wir haben uns leider nicht sehr willkommen gefühlt, der Check in war schon etwas kühl und was uns überhaupt nicht gefallen hat war die Frühstück Situation, wir hatten mit Frühstück gebucht, wo der Frühstückbereich ist wurde uns nicht mitgeteilt, diesen mussten wir erst am Morgen erfragen, dort angekommen wollte man von uns 20 Dollar pro Person, mit Hinweis das wir das Frühstück schon gebucht hatten wurde uns gesagt wir brauchen eine Voucher, warum hat man uns diesen nicht beim Check In ,gegeben, oder spätestens bei der Nachfrage nach dem Raum...so waren leider alle Service Leistungen im Hotel.Das Zimmer war durchschnittlich, Betten waren okay,die Ausstattung nicht besonders.

Book elsewhere
Pros:

Came for a concert and location was great. The hotel is beyond outdated and needs a complete renovation. Rooms had filthy carpet and bad outlets. Not updated since built. Pool was dirty and needed to be redone and service at pool bar was poor and drinks were gross (note to bartender: check fruit before putting it in a drink!). Staff is friendly but not helpful for information if you need food late or if you get bad service. Won’t book here again.

Please don't book here
Pros:

This place is terrible, dirty and run down. They haven't remodeled this place since it opened. I wouldn't recommend this place to my dog. Nothing works furniture is old and broken. The staff lied and said I never made them aware of any issue. I literally made them aware upon arrival. The carpet is absolutely filthy. I could write a book on how bad it is.

Dirtiest hotel I’ve stayed in, had to leave and stay elsewhere.
Pros:

First of all I stay in hotel 50+ nights a year, primarily hiltons. This was the worst hotel I’ve ever “stayed in”. Walking to my room I noticed there was just bits of trash and such along the floor. I got my first room changed after finding a condom wrapper and weed paraphernalia under the ac unit, along with clumps of dirt and dust on the front of the AC vent. I didn’t even check the first room any further. The total for the night was in the $170-$190 Range after taxes and fees. The woman at the front desk was very apologetic and changed my room with no upgrade or comp on anything.

Second room had no condom wrappers but had dirty carpet, water damage in multiple spots on the ceiling, mold behind the night stand, burn holes in the carpet, and a dismantled fire alarm. I didn’t dig too deep because I had to work on booking another hotel.

The view of the river was nice I could see the hotel I ended up staying in from the balcony.
