Good Stay

We booked a river view room two months in advance but were given a room facing the parking deck. They had no other rooms available. Also, you would think with how much we pay for the room that breakfast would be included. But overall we enjoyed our stay. The staff were great and the room was spotless. We will continue to book this hotel.

Great place to stay for events at Waterside and an easy safe walk to The Norva. I scored this for a little less than the courtyard price and it came with a better location and water view. Pro tip: Self Park directly across the street but don’t forget to scan your room key!

great staff, but hotel needs work and more staff

Most annoyingly, the toilet in our room was very loud, but did not work very well. My low-flush at home works much better. There were mechanical problems (the AC did not work in some parts of the building, the phone did not work in our room) and during the convention, some rooms were not supplied as requested. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but there were some things they just could not fix.
