A wonderful stay! Lovely view of the river from every room. A nice, artsy city park - great for strolling riverside, right outside the door. Excellent bakery across the street.

Good place to stay.

What a beautiful view of the river from our room (all rooms face the river). Very conveniently located off Hwy 97. Parking is a little off - but ok. Room was clean.

Staff was very polite and nice, but we had paid in advance with hotels.com 3 months earlier - and were charged again when checked in, Howard’s hotel said they couldn't help our situation, (since they had changed or updated their computer system) and it didn’t show where we had paid.. but hotels.com contacted them and we were reimbursed so all turned out well.

Room wasn’t ready until 5:00 P.M. The breakfast was skimpy and not stalked. Just some bagels without cream cheese. No juice, yogurt, or protein. The restaurant is now closed so not too many options for dining anymore. We always stay here when we visit the area and love this hotel but this trip was disappointing.

The property is a walking distance of the edge of the river. They can certainly improve in the customer service department - hire more friendly women.
