I would book again. Christmas lights lit up the street across from River balcony adding to the spirit. We had a fireplace in the room which made it a lovely winter addition. The hot tub was a bust - luke warm - but everything else was great. The people were very nice. I will book again.

Hotel was very clean and updated. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Enjoyed my spacious room with a balcony looking over the river. However, hotel is at the very end of strip so it's a bit of a walk to everywhere. But area was quiet and safe overall.

So the staff was great, and the breakfast was pretty good as well. The room was clean for what it was The only thing that I would have a complaint about was on the balcony door there was a big gap on the bottom to allow cold air into the room and or bugs because there were several. And the smell wasn't that great. But generally it was okay.
