The staff were very positive and happy to see others. The property is well placed, and having a room on a higher floor provides a great view.

Gary United States of America

The new decor is very clean and fresh. The hotel staff was very helpful and pleasant.

Mary United States of America

Location was excellent, we liked that there was a connection to the sky-walk system throughout the downtown location. Hotel was clean, pretty friendly staff.

Amanda United States of America

Great 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.

Jeremy United States of America

Front desk staff was excellent, both checking in and extending my checkout. Valet was excellent. Concierge was excellent = recommended the steak house down the street and we had a great dinner. Also, our first meeting was a block away = convenient. Breakfast brought to the room quickly and warm/hot.

Jake United States of America

Great 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.
