| - My boyfriend and I decided to stay here for 4th of July weekend, and overall it was a great stay. Check-in was super easy and fast. Parking is $14 a night which kind of stinks but it is less expensive than other hotels in the area. They don't tell you that there is a fee; I only knew from reading reviews online so beware of that. I had no problem with the parking lot. You use your room key to get through the gate and there were plenty of spaces when we were there.
The room was very clean, spacious, and updated. There was a microwave and mini fridge which was nice. Our view was of a rocky rooftop so that was kind of a bummer, but we weren't expecting anything spectacular.
Housekeeping came everyday and were very good. We ate breakfast there twice, but didn't get there until 9:15 so there wasn't a crazy selection left but decent enough. There was cereal, oatmeal, sausage, eggs, bagels, english muffins, and cinnamon rolls which were delicious.
One of the main reasons why I chose this hotel was because they have a shuttle which drives you anywhere within a 3 mile radius (which is pretty much anywhere since everything is so close). We used the shuttle the first day to go to station square which is only 1 mile away. It was quick and easy. Around 10 pm we called the hotel to have the shuttle pick us up, and he told us that the transmission broke on the shuttle and it's not running anymore. Ok, no big deal, we just took Uber back. The next day we asked about the shuttle and found out that another hotel was working with our hotel and we could get picked up by them. They arrived quickly and we got dropped off at Point State Park. We called our hotel again around 10:10 pm (the shuttle is supposed to run until 10:30), and asked if we could get picked up. The guy was like ummmm the shuttle hasn't been running all day. So I explained that earlier on in the day we used the other hotel's shuttle. He knew nothing about that and again we were stranded, so we took another Uber. If the transmission broke then fine, but I have my suspicions that the transmission didn't actually break and the driver just wanted off for the holiday weekend because it just seemed like pretty convenient timing and the van was only sitting at the hotel after it "broke" for the holiday. But who knows.
The location of the hotel is awesome. There is a Domino's on the same street and and gas station/convenience store as well. You can walk 2 blocks down and you are on E Carson St which is where all of the bars and restaurants are, so you don't have to worry about transportation back from there because you can just walk.
We were going to stay at the Wyndham instead of this hotel because it would have been convenient for the fireworks but chose this instead because it was cheaper, parking was cheaper, they didn't have a microwave and fridge in the room, and based on reviews the rooms seem to be cleaner here. I would stay at this hotel again definitely, I just wish there was more of a view of the river at least from the room we stayed in. But overall it was a very good experience.
