Tim, the bartender, made our stay excellent. The other staff were very nice also. We received an upgrade and had a better room than we expected. The view was nice, the area is great, and we felt like we were the only people in town (off-season indeed).

The room was spotless and classy with some local chips and water in the rooms. Excellent for our small dog with amazing views and walking paths. I would also recommend a local breakfast spot Ames Street Cafe. We talked with another guest and we both enjoyed the home made local food. The rapids right next to the hotel was fantastic for wildlife and cool scenery. Short walk see the Elk River to flow into the east bay. It would be a great opportunity for a summer stay if you can get a boat slip. Great hospitality with a fresh modern look. No fears with this not being a large chain. We hope to return soon.

8/10 Very good

Very nice room, great location in center of town, immaculately clean, like-new construction. Would be 5 stars but I'm not keen on the self-service concept. No one working at reception, you have to check yourself in online and get access codes. We had no problems, but it's easy to see how it could be a problem. I notice that hotels have gotten rid of housekeeping, and now the front desk as well, but haven't passed on the savings in the form of lower rates.

6/10 Good

Easy key-less check-in administered by text messages. Your phone needs to stay charged to remember the codes, or take a screen shot, or have a great memory of 3 #’s. The rooms are very clean and modern. What I did not like - for a light sleeper it is not ideal. I found the bed uncomfortable and there was a constant generator/broiler-like humming that made it difficult to fall asleep. The walls are very thin so any talking in the hallway, showers taken next door, were easily palpable to hear. Luckily my neighbors were quiet. The Roku tv did not provide much live sports tv options. It was fine for the the event I was there for, but I probably would not stay there again.

We came here for the first time in July 2024. Just visited again and this property is under new management...the updates to the lounge area, service and hospitality are excellent! We were greeted consistently by staff. The new lounge and patio were our favorite. Make sure to get a drink or coffee and enjoy the view. We had an amazing time and will be back!

8/10 Very good

The check in process was very frustrating. I arrived around 7:00pm and there were no employees on site. I never received a check in link and walked around the building until I found a QR code but still needed an access code. I had to call customer service for help. This took about 15 minutes in total. I finally entered inside and the building was very nice. There’s a bar that not yet finished. So there aren’t really any amenities. The room was clean but had an odd smell. Similar to cooked broccoli. There was a shared door to the neighboring room and it is PAPER THIN. The people in the neighboring room were drunk and loud. The bed itself was comfortable but the pillows were flat. The bathroom is very nice and the room is spacious. However, the shower ran out of hot water for a few minutes. This happened twice. The location was close to the downtown and marina which made walking around convenient. I voiced my complaints to the company and they offered a 10% off my next stay which the place already feels a bit overpriced. Overall, the hotel is nice if all you’re looking for is a place to sleep in the area. Just be prepared if you show up to check in past 6:00pm and pray you don’t have noisy neighbors.

I was very disappointed with my stay due to the lack of communication and customer service. The hotel did not clearly advertise that front desk staff would not be available to assist with check-in. After arriving on an early flight, I discovered there was no way to check in even if there was a room ready. What made the situation even more frustrating was that check-in was not available until 3:50 PM, despite check in at most hotels in the world is 3:00 PM. The onsite staff were unable or unwilling to provide assistance or assign an access code, leaving guests with no options other than waiting. Another major issue was the complete lack of drinking water. There was no bottled water provided in the room and no water available anywhere on the property for guests. After traveling, I had to order water through Uber Eats at an additional cost of nearly $20. The property itself may be acceptable, but the lack of communication regarding the self-check-in process, the delayed room access, the absence of basic amenities such as drinking water, and the unhelpful response from onsite personnel made for a very poor guest experience. I would recommend that management be more transparent about their check-in procedures and provide basic guest services and amenities that travelers reasonably expect.
