8/10 Very good

The hotel is centrally located, easy walk to shops and restaurants. The hotel rooms are spacious, clean, modern, and very comfortable. The negatives - a new policy where they tried to charge me $50 for early check in (of course, I turned it down and I was only trying to check in one hour early), and the WiFi connection was awful.

I love the RS.

Such a great hotel, the staff was extremely friendly and it couldn’t have better views or a better location. Absolutely perfect and we will stay here again when we come back for New Years! I will say there is a $32 a day fee when you check out, which I wasn’t aware of so keep that in mind! Get the river view rooms, also!
