The location on the small river, with balconies, was the best feature. Beds were comfortable. And they did seem to have plenty of parking (in a area where there is very little parking).
It was not as nice as I thought I was getting based on pictures and price. The breakfast room was small, and the food choices were limited. No cooked foods provided, except a pancake machine. We needed toilet paper, and towels the second day, and could not reach the front desk by phone. After multiple attempts to both front desk and housekeeping numbers, one of us went downstairs and there was someone sitting at the desk, not busy, but obviously with the phones off. Not cool when we are paying a premium cost.

Great location where we did not have to drive around downtown. Beds were comfortable and facility clean. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Location was great.
Room were very clean.
Staff was nice.
The bed might as well had 2x4s in it. The hotel was really nice but then when we went to sleep the bed was horrible. Absolutely horrible. We only stayed one night If we would have stayed two nights I would have tried to gotten my money back and went somewhere else just because the bed was so bad. This is really sad considering we had a good room with a view of the creek and we saw some bears in the parking garage across from us. For a little over 300 a night with taxes the bed should have been better. It kind of felt like your feet were higher than your head and the bed was so stiff It was literally like sleeping on a board. I don't know if all the beds are that bad. We were in room 212.
