Hotel was super clean and beds were extremely comfortable. A short walk to the strip but the balcony provides a quiet, serene feel and every room faces the creek. I'd definitely stay again.

Needed a quick one-night getaway and wanted to stay on the river. Check-in was quick and easy. The room was spacious and air conditioning worked well. The balcony was right on the river, which was perfect. Close to the parkway we were able to walk. Would stay again.
