Pros:

Very clean, super friendly, very accommodating. Breakfast was great.

Cons:

Wish I could have stayed longer. When we want to go back they have no availability because they are a college town. So sad we can't stay here.,

Cons:

Staff member in the kitchen was very rude, aggressive and confrontational. It changed my entire opinion about my experience at your hotel.
Manager- I hope you make the right decision for your establishment so you don't lose any more customers.

Pros:

Breakfast, room view and the facility was super clean

Cons:

The staff was not kind at all. At breakfast time, the dishes ran out, and the utensils were dirty
I ordered food delivery, and when I went to meet the driver, one of the front desk employees asked me if I knew where I was going. I responded, " Yes, I'm going to my room, they thought that I was the delivery guy,
This is not ok and makes me feel like what? Why did this employee say that to me?

Best affordable pet-friendly accommodations!!!
Pros:

I loved that this location was so convenient and right along the river. This was our first time staying with our pet in a hotel and the pet fee was super reasonable. The size and amenities of the room was surprising at this price point!

Clean, spacious room, friendly staff. Facilities could be better.
Pros:

The room is spacious and very clean and well-groomed. All staff members, including concierge, are very friendly, and I felt welcome. The pet cleanliness fee is acceptable.

Cons:

Although there is a quiet hour around midnight and people usually follow it, the hotel room's sound insulation could be better. We often woke up in the morning because of the running steps from the upper floors.
The complimentary breakfast could be restocked or refilled more quickly because we arrived at the cafeteria around 9, and the 2 of 3 coffee bottles were almost empty.
Also, the elevator wait time could be long during peak hours.
