Staff service was amazing. Free upgrade, early check in, assistance with bags… just really great from beginning to end. My only complaint is the person who cleaned the room turned off our AC and opened the balcony door on a 95 degree day. This not only took more than 24 hrs to fully cool back down (the ACs don’t work great there) but actually consumes more energy than leaving it on.

Really nice pool area overlooking the river. Not much within walking distance, but Ubers were quick and cheap. Nice service around the pool, although a little slow at times, made up for by the friendly staff. Good breakfast options and a wonderful seating area hovering over the edge of the river. Gym was small, but some free weights and modern cable machine.

We stayed one night in the hotel. It was not suitable for my mobility impaired mother, so well before checkout time we asked for a refund for the remaining two days. We checked out and did not stay the remaining two days, valued over $900. They had zero sympathy for this, and outright refused a refund. Expedia tried to collect the money, and again they refused. I asked for the Front Office Manager's email, and was given a fake email address that is bouncing. Additionally, this hotel was terrible. The price paid was $450/night. For that price you can get a much better hotel. Don't be fooled by the "5 star" rating, it is not real. The "bar" is basically a cafeteria, the pool bar is generally closed, there are no plants or anything by the pool, the rooms are extremely small, and the service was no where near 5 star. You are just paying for the view, and there are other hotels that have views also, but are MUCH better. I.E. Yeatman, which was also $450/night. Total ripoff, and just terrible how they treated my mother.
