It's close to Riverside hospital. I would highly recommend staying here if you have family at Riverside. There is a special rate for families with patients at Riverside. In order to get the rate you have to book directly through the hotel. The staff is wonderful. Robert and Tyler were so helpful our entire stay. The breakfast was tasty and different every day. We were here for a week and will definitely be back. My mom has mobility issues. We booked a handicapped room and the room was perfect. Tyler and Robert were so good to us.

Nothing! Everything was great

very nice greeting staff quick and helpful rooms and bed are awesome pool looked nice free coffee and drinks in lobby

they didn’t have a microwave in room and couldn’t accommodate earlier breakfast due to us having to leave at 430am to make our flight. there should be an option for at least a cold breakfast for people who have to check out early

Julia. She was amazing at helping me get a room for a disabled family member so he wouldn't have to walk far. She checked on us frequently and I felt she was willing to go above and beyond for any needs that might come up.

Nothing. It was all great.

The people that worked there were so nice and hospitable

The stairs were in an inconvenient place so when the elevators were busy at a late time it was hard to get too

It was very close to the venue that my grandson had to be at all weekend.

The price. The price for pets was rediculous. The pool was very small.
