Overall, the property was great. However, the rooms are smaller than i am accustomed to and the bathrooms are super small. The hotel restaurants were lacking in family friendly options. The pool area was great and the breakfast options were plenty. We would stay here again.

The pool was a nice size and it was open until midnight! We took advantage of that perk.
The room was comfortable and had a great view of the river. The only disadvantage of the view was the distance from the elevator.
Breakfast for was good with plenty of options.

Requested adjoining rooms as we were traveling with our daughter and were put on different floors which was not convenient.
