Check-in was easy and the location is central. We really enjoyed being within walking distance of the riverwalk and lots of bars and restaurants. Parking was plentiful and it was only like $5 per day which is a lot cheaper than other hotels in the area. Our only gripe was that it is a VERY noisy area. We stayed over a weekend and had a pretty difficult time getting to sleep. Not sure if its because of poor windows or thin walls but because there are a number of music venues around and we could hear all the music they were playing extremely clearly until about 2am.

This motel needs some love. I ended up here by accident. I meant to choose the Ruby River motel, which I stayed at a few months ago. I was told this one is owned by the same company. NO comparison. I will NOT make the same mistake again.

Cute cocktail lounge connected to the loddy with good drinks. Hotel is surprisingly inexpensive for its location and the fact it's obviously recently redone. Cute fixtures and attention to detail in the public places of the Hotel.

Says that the property is quiet, but we could hear everything going on outside. Also, was locked out of the parking garage and no one was around to help, so we ended up having to call someone to unlock the gate. Not sure why security weren't onsite to begin with.

Could've been better but fit the purpose
Hair on bed comforter, really small room, bathroom looked like a commercial restroom, I did like the high walls on the shower, bed was very uncomfortable for me, very limited tv channels and tv looked like it was from the early 2000's. I did like there was a bar on site and it was super nice to have hot breakfast in the morning. Overall maybe a 7/10. I would probably stay there again because of the last 2 things I mentioned.

This was a disappointing experience for me. It is really a motel, not a hotel, where the door to your room opens out to the outside. The area the hotel is in is not particularly safe and the hotel (appropriately) gives warnings about the general area being unsafe. But i did not realize it was unsafe before deciding to stay at the hotel. To make matters worse, the door to the outside has a tendency to catch when you try to close it, so you sometimes think the door is closed but it is not. Also, the dead bolt for the door does not give a satisfying click or other confirmation to assure you that the door is locked, so i was never totally confident the door was securely shut. The room was reasonably clean but very basic. The king size bed was large but not super comfortable. (It was not particularly uncomfortable, but not very comfortable either). The room was a bit drafty but this was not too bad. The room did not have a lot of outlets but there were enough for me to get by. One reason i picked this hotel was that expedia said breakfast was included. However, the breakfast is not in a hotel facility, you get a coupon for a $6 breakfast at a nearby restaurant. I didnt try the breakfast because i didnt have time to bother with being seated, ordering, getting a check, etc. i was counting on getting a convenient, simple breakfast at a hotel breakfast bar, but that is not what you get. The hotel staff was very nice but the place has too many issues to recommend it.
