The hotel is conveniently located near the river walking paths and a great dining options. We were fortunate to catch open street parking, but the cost of parking is a hidden exorbitant expenditure. Parking garage and valet parking were outside of our budget. The hotel itself is wonderful. Friendly staff. Clean. Modern. Comfortable. Aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, the outside walkway was consistently populated by individuals standing nearby smoking. That odorous atmosphere is counter to the interior hotel environment and sadly distracting.
