I stayed here for one night with my daughter. We took the upgrade to Gold and it was fantastic. The room was beautiful and clean. Super comfy bed. We loved the pool and steam room.

It was a beautiful old hotel that has been well maintained. It is in the heart of the city. Only 1-2 blocks away from a major mall and lots of restaurants. You can even walk to the river where there are lovely trails along the river side.
