The staff was very accommodating. There was a smell in our first room, and they gladly found us another room on property. We were there with older parents, and the hotel offered a wheelchair when a handicap room was not available. This helped with the distance to the room Great coffee bar in the lobby. The staff on the phone was also helpful each time I called or emailed. Many nice things to walk to on the riverwalk.

Overall was a good experience. Things to keep in mind is parking. We stayed 2 nights, but we're charged 3 days (checked in Friday checked out Sunday). So that's an added 66$ for self park, 81$ for valet. Makes a difference when others in the area include it. You also pay for the breakfast buffet ($18 a person). Did have great food and lots of options. We had the 2 double beds in our room, plenty of space for 2 queens and I wouldn't have minded the space they would have taken. Would have been a better sleeping experience. Ultimately, didn't save any money with the added cost.

We stayed here every year when we Celebrate Robert Burns Birthday. 266 yrs It's a Scottish Thing!! The hotels employees go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. We had a wonderful meal with the celebration and enjoyed the beauty of the art work on display. It is off season so the hotel is in need of some minor cosmetic works that will most likely been done before spring. We just had winter storms so we have to take that in account also!! Top notch front desk on all shifts and a great service from the Valet. Will return again!!
