"Hotel was overall a good experience. Stay was comfortable and convenient. The lobby rep, April (I think that’s her name), was exceptional with her customer service skills. She’s truly the only reddy I would rate this experience 5/5."

"The room was clean. The property felt safe. The river view was excellent. There are no recreational amenities besides the airport shuttle. This is an older motel style. There is a park adjacent to the building that has benches and walking trails. I only needed a place to rest, so it fit my need."
