This place sucks! The room smelled & the food was awful. The front desk staff was horrible! We made reservations to pay at check in yet someone called us to pay before arriving & refused to explain why. At check in the front desk lady was so sick she could not speak. At check out, Teresa who claimed to be the Manager on duty was very rude. We called after check out because my children left toys in the room. When I realized I called the front desk & asked if someone would please go upstairs & get the toys. I would arrive shortly to pick them up. Instead Teresa told me I could go back, get a key, & go upstairs myself. I guess $250 a night doesn’t include customer service. Well when I got there, Teresa began to be very rude. She asked for ID even though she knew exactly who I was and even knew i was with my brothers and even asked if the reservation was under his name. I have two last names which is shown on my ID, yet she tried to insist the reservation wasn't mine and even tried to force me to agree that my name wasn’t my last name. She then told me she usually has staff ESCOT ME up but she wasn’t gonna do that to be nice. Ironically there was staff there to escort me but NOT to go get the toys. Well I told her that and she got mad told me to leave or she would call the police. I told her to call them as i left to go get the toys myself. When i came back down she yelled across the entire lobby full of guests goodbye & referred to me by the last name on the reservation.

My only gripe is the front desk attendant whom I had to ask to speak up because she was whisper-mumbling (no, I'm not hard of hearing). She raised her voice from inaudible to barely audible, and I guess I had to settle for that. Other than that, lovely hotel.

Wonderful service
We loved the location. So close to River st and lots of things happening nearby. We had a beautiful view of the river from our room. They offered an average what you'd expect breakfast for free. However, the lady that worked the breakfast area was amazing. She checked in with every table, kept the breakfast area stocked and clean. The front desk were very helpful and friendly. The only thing of note about service was that our room didn't get cleaned (2 night stay) i don't mind the towels not being changed but I'd have liked the garbage emptied.

The property itself is in an excellent location, however, there is a park nearby with a lot of homeless people and the smell of weed wafting from this park was nauseating. Limited choices for breakfast. Decided to skip breakfast when seeing people dressed in pajamas and bed head show up touching food utensils. Dress code for breakfast should be imposed. Staff is friendly, beds are comfortable.
