Loved this hotel. Stayed for a wedding. Modern design. Felt new and clean throughout. Great pool/sauna/steam room. Hotel faces river with full glass front and great views. Walking distance to just about everything. Adjacent parking in hotel garage (+$). Check-in took a surprisingly long time and checking out was a bit of a hassle too as wedding account had not been handled correctly, but account rep took care of everything professionally and quickly the following Monday. Hotel can be a bit noisy at weekend due to (good) music in lounge which can travel freely up front (open to hotel roof) of elevator lobby. The hotel is not very wide and noise travels well from lobby even to 10th+ floor rooms. Recommend you go downstairs and enjoy the music until they are done! Consider stopping by river front patio of hotel bar for a drink and enjoy views.
