For the price booking.com I was over charged and not worth the stay.
Pros:

The breakfast was good but we only got it because it was complimentary. Staff did try to help with the bad experience.

Cons:

Location was closer to the freeway than riverfront. The first room was hot from no ac and smelled terrible. The second room toilet over flowed and the tub filled up during showering. We were going to cancel but they offered an upgrade and breakfast. Still was over charged by booking.com once I found out what Radisson charged compared to booking. Wouldn’t recommend

Nostalgic but Never Again...
Pros:

Location and nostalgia of having stayed there for years past.

Cons:

Had no hot water the entire three day stay, it was out at check-in and we were not informed. Restaurant AC was out and we were not notified even though we had a reservation. Dead lady bugs in door track to balcony. AC unit was inconsistent.

Pros:

Location in regards to local attractions, staff was friendly.

Cons:

The pool had some mortar missing- could use an update. The ceiling above the pool looked mildewed as well. Much of the building seemed outdated. The balcony door in our room did not latch and the handle screws were lookse. Part of the handle actually broke when I was trying to close the balcony door (not forcefully).
