Sylvia TatSeptember 30, 2018Very clean and trendy. Love that the hotel has water refill tanks. Worked out very well because my daughter had a soccer tournament and she was able to refill her water between 2 games.
Chris EdwardsAugust 12, 2014This strange hybrid of a motel and a resort is surprisingly good, as the food, service, interior design and pool outshine its motel-like layout.- Teresa Miralles GalladJuly 24, 2013Very clean and nice. Beautiful renovation from last hotel. Will stay there again and recommend this place.
If you get breakfast here, the corned beef hash, french toast, and pancakes are all good choices.- Siddharth VanchinathanApril 21, 2018Hip and cool fancy motel with a pool and award winning restaurant. Also free WiFi!
Lauren LangoneMay 28, 2013Tasty cuisine...local produce...great service with a serene, outside pool atmosphere!
Justin SullivanFebruary 13, 2015Stylish and cool. The motel you used to stay in as a kid, but better.
Morgan C.April 10, 2014Staff is wonderful. Lobby is filled with perfume! Had to wear a mask in the lobby, and then had to change clothes which were covered in the scent from the lobby! Yuck!

"This river-side walking/biking path (leashed dogs allowed)should be a gem but It's s congregating spot for the drunk, displaced, scream'g homeless off their meds at 2pm. Scared my dog. Not a favorite."
