Pros:

Second time staying at Hillcrest, will defiantly stay again
Nice quiet location with great city/river views in a charming 80's tower.
Excellent location to see a show at Riverstage.
Lots of great food and shopping nearby.
Safe secure parking.

Cons:

The beds are clean but not very comfortable.
The only sink is in the bathroom which didn't drain properly, it was difficult to wash away toothpaste/soap properly so we could wash our dishes before checkout.
