Reviews

The somewhat tired looking building, location away from downtown, and cramped access and parking made us wonder. But our top floor room was very clean and comfortable and had a wonderful view of the river and bridge. The staff, in particular, was excellent –friendly and helpful and always, it seemed, in a good mood. Breakfast was also excellent with eggs made to order. Recommended.

This is a great hotel....The room was clean and comfortable, front desk people were very pleasant and helpful, Bay View Bistro was amazing...great food, and Shanna was the perfect hostess and wait person....Breakfast was made to order...That was a first time experience....We would stay there again....If just passing through around 4pm, stop and have something to eat....You will not be disappointed....
