Stayed here for one night while attending a concert at Riverside Theatre. It is about a 10 minute walk. Hotel was OK, could have been cleaner. There was hair all over the bathroom. We parked next-door at the parking garage, it was cheaper than their valet.

Inconvenience

Place had a very nice continental breakfast I'll give them that. Parking and no direct walking to the hotel is an inconvenience. Having to carry your bags through a parking ramp and walk to hotel sucks.
