Great hotel just north of downtown. Right on the riverwalk which was awesome. 10-15 minute walk to downtown and beautiful walk up the riverwalk headed North. Great staff, well kept hotel. We live in Atlanta, this is a great short get away for the weekend.

Cockroach

I think this place is beautiful. It has amazing views. My only issue was I was working on my laptop when I was surprised my a huge cockroach. It was gross and scary. I was moved to a new room (the room below) and given a free drink voucher. The restaurant was delicious and the staff was super friendly. This place would have been prefect for that minus issue. Which for me it’s a big thing.

Phenomenal in every facet! From the moment we checked in until we left, absolutely amazing service and experience! The hotel was clean and located right on the riverwalk! Views were great. Breakfast was good and easy, nice patio to eat outside! The staff were great! Allowed us to lock up our bikes where they could be viewed and someone was at front desk 24/7. I felt safe leaving my bikes locked on truck BUT this made us feel even better!!! Can not say enough good things about this hotel. Our dog loved it too!!! If I ever go back to Columbus this will be where we stay!

This hotel is lovely! I am visiting Georgia to see my Fiancé on his Darby pass at Fort Benning. I was nervous about feeling safe so I booked this hotel based on great reviews. I checked in around 10pm and was so impressed with how safe I felt and how darn cute the hotel is! I loved my stay so much that I booked it for a second night although I planned to stay closer to ATL for my early morning flight. Getting up at 3am will be worth getting to stay here again. I cannot say enough great things. Clean room, clean bathroom, super comfy bed/pillows, perfect location, beautiful rooms, nespressos in the rooms, restaurant/bar, easy parking, and the list could go on! I definitely plan to stay here if I need in the future!
