I had a lovely room with great view down the river, couldn’t have been better. I had asked to change rooms as I wasn’t happy with the room I was originally given but one of the guys on reception happily swapped for me.

The hotel is located right across the Riverwalk. The building is aged. We got a premium room with view of Michigan river. The view was beautiful. However, the mattress was old and not comfortable. AC was super noisy. There is a valet parking available at the hotel for $52 per night. Another option offered by the hotel is $30 almost 2 blocks away from the hotel in a public parking.
