Upon arrival, I wished that I'd been able to get there earlier. What a lovely location in a neighborhood by the river! I loved the modern rustic decor in the lobby/dining/breakfast area, and the room was large and comfortable. Breakfast offered various choices including brakfast burritos, granola with yogurt, etc. Highly recommended!
