We were excited about the remodel and wanted to love it. The room was sparse. Bathroom felt institutional. Bed felt low quality. There was garbage in the grass next to the patio. Grass was long. Weeds were present in the surrounding bark. Patio chairs were dirty. I regret to say that the food at the restaurant was mediocre. It would take take it up a notch if the outdoor area was tended to and there were some additional touches like robes in the rooms.
What the hotel has going for it is location! On the riverpath. Close to myriad activities for outdoor enthusiasts, concert goers, and campus visitors. And the newness of the remodel. Service by hotel and restaurant staff was great!
