The new decor is very clean and fresh. The hotel staff was very helpful and pleasant.
United States of AmericaLocation was excellent, we liked that there was a connection to the sky-walk system throughout the downtown location. Hotel was clean, pretty friendly staff.
United States of AmericaGreat location. Went for Octoberfest and it was only an 8 min walk to the event. Checking in and out was very quick. Staff was super friendly, polite, and attentive. The room was clean and large. We would definitely stay there again.
United States of AmericaWell....newly renovated room. Beautiful but... one towel rack only, and in need of an additional suitcase rack in closet. GREAT bathroom lighting for us senior ladies but could use a light on makeup on Mirror maybe? Other than that, little remodeling going on, but they made that totally doable. Staff was excellent and helpful. Eat at chop steakhouse one night if you should feel the need to seriously drop a few serious bucks Delicious! Heidi G
United States of Americasuper nice staff. the location is good and the skywalk access is a big bonus especially if the weather is wet or cold.
United States of AmericaValet parking was convenient. Skywalk to Wells Fargo was great. Bed was very comfortable.
United States of AmericaSmoke alarms went off which caused some inconvenience. We were eating at the dining room at the time. Would have been nice to receive a discount on our meal due to the extended delay. We were glad however that the alarms worked.
United States of AmericaGreat downtown location near very nice restaurants. Love the layout of the room very trendy yet comforting. Beautiful view of the river from our room. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodated any needs we had very quickly. Valet service was top notch! Will definitely stay again in the future.
