Just in and out for a quick overnight stay on a road trip. Breakfast was excellent; one of the better quality offerings I’ve had at hotels. The room accomplished its needs—a place to spend the night. The bed was mediocre—firm mattress and weird lumpy square pillows. Bathroom shower had outstanding water pressure. The tv has 30-40 basic cable channels, nothing special. I stayed on 6th floor with views of river and state capitol, so that was an added bonus.

We have stayed here several times for events at the arena and event center. It is super convenient to be able to walk the short distance to both of those locations. Hotel is clean, check in staff was very pleasant and rooms are clean and comfortable
