Cons:

Pool is still under "maintenance". I read a review from may 2026 before I booked the hotel that said it was under maintenance. Not mentioned in the description of the hotel. Breakfast was cereal, toast or bagels. Shower kept changing temperature like someone close by was flushing a toilet over and over again. Overall not a bad place to stay if you just wanted a place to sleep with no real amenities.

Pros:

Breakfast was standard fare-bagels, toast, fruit, cereal, oatmeal and yogurt. Staff as friendly and helpful as could be while being stretched very thin due to staff quitting unexpextedly that day. Location was great! Very close to venues for events and the falls, Battleship memorial and shopping.

Cons:

Pool was out of order, which was one of main reasons chose it. Pump blew a hole in it. Staff quitting on them and leaving rest of staff scrambling yo accomdate sold out hotel. Courtyard needs some maintenance. TV did not work in room.

Pros:

Front desk lady was very friendly

Cons:

Our first room the bathroom toilet did not work and one of the beds did not have a comforter on it so we got another room and in the second room, the bathroom toilet would run every five minutes like it was flushing itself, and the air conditioner after it hit a certain degree in the room it sound like it was taking a fart afterwards and the shower when you pull the knob, not all the water goes to the shower you took a shower bath. Your continental breakfast is not even worth having breakfast on the website. And same with the pool too.
