This was a nice inn. Nothing fancy. Clean. Quiet. There were a lot of people staying at the Inn and only one person working the kitchen, so when I went for breakfast, a number of options to eat were empty and it was difficult to ascertain when they would be replenished.

This property is getting old. The inside of the elevator looked like it was stripped in preparation for painting, but another guest said it had been like that for days. Breakfast only hot items were a waffle, polish sausage pieces, and a little folded over cheese omlet. Basic but mostly bread or cereal. Bed was very comfortable.

Nice place to stay for a weekend for a coupe.

I enjoyed the hotel. The proximity to the Riverwalk was very nice. The breakfast choices were nice. I recommend putting more towels in the bathroom in the room. Our bathroom only had two bath towels.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Wouldn't recommend. Shower had obvious mold growth in multiple areas, very dirty carpeting in stairwells, one of the bed's had a stained sheet - we moved over to the other bed. Loud motorcycles and other engines revving at 3 am, 5 am. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable, the room was dark with the blinds pulled, temperature was comfortable.

Very poor parking

Beware if you have to park after 5pm. The lot is full of Spectrum trucks. Also it’s hard to exit from the parking lot unless you want to cross the bridge.

The staff are very friendly and respectful. The breakfast was good. Bed was comfortable. The shower was dripping. The parking was terrible at the end of the day. The washer was not functioning so we have to go out to the laundry mat. But overall i would stay here again
