    I was told by one member that Continental breakfast was from 7 to 2.. but the next day I was told they don't do Continental anymore since the addition of the coffee shop. It was not the best surprise, but it was okay.

    It was a lovely stay. Cold ac, pool up and running.

    Faucet in the shower was a little difficult to get on. Had to contact front desk before I could shower.

    Restaurant was great, wait staff was excellent. Front desk went out of there way to try and find a pencil for me to use.

    That the king sized room smelled damp and I had to be in a separate building from my kids.

    The staff moved us because the kind sized room smelled wet and damp.

    Would be nice to have elevators. We luckily had a room where we didn’t have to use stairs, but it was a long walk. One of the reasons we booked was a complimentary breakfast was listed as an amenity, but found out at arrival this was no longer offered, we were disappointed by this. More shade around the pool area would be nice.

    Convenient location, room was clean and comfortable temperature. AC worked well while it was very hot outside.

    The website said there were bikes to rent and the staff didn't have any clue about bike rentals and acted like I didn't know what I was talking about.

    The lobby was comfortable and the windows had a beautiful view of the dam and river. The room was clean and nice with a sliding door out to the pool area and towards the river. The Restaurant,Portage Grill, on site had good food and very comfortable for friends and family to gather.

    Grab and go breakfast was sparse as there were not any gluten free items. Protein was in sandwich form. Plain oatmeal, boiled eggs, and cheese are some possible offerings.

    Remodel is excellent.

    I wish my room had a view of the water instead of the parking lot. But honestly, it was a great room.

    It was a beautiful building, great views, and close to everything but not right in town. Check out was at 12 p.m., which I loved!

    I think, maybe, due to the new renovations there were a couple small issues with our room. The first that my husband noticed was the bathroom sink would only run hot water and if it ran for a little the water was untouchable hot. We had to quickly was hands. Another issue was our TV.. it was very difficult to turn on. We would continuously press the power button and it would not turn on. My husband somehow figured it out each time we turned it on.

    I believe our room was #111 Was expecting a bit of an “outdated” room because that is what I saw in the photos when I booked! To my surprise we got one of the newly renovated rooms and it was a pleasant surprise! The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean!

    Although the rooms were comfortable and seemingly recently updated, the hallways and stairwells are constructed of poor quality man-made decking material (something like Trex) - giving everything a very cheap feel. And believe me, for the quality and location, this place wasn’t cheap.

    Convenient to highway. Good AC.

    Room could have been in better shape. Towels smelled horrible. Housekeeping rude.

    For the amount we paid room was not worth it. Overpriced. Towels smelled horrible and unclean. Housekeeping knocked on door 4 separate times, when notice of do not disturb was on door. They woke us up early and then we heard the maids screaming at each other in the hall. Lobby and restaurant were great and nice room and Housekeeping horrible. Will never return. Too expensive for what room actually was.

    A/C worked on occasion......no clock or alarm clock...no hand towels...no fan in bathroom...no menu of restaurant in room, no shower caps, no hair dryer, towels are now size of motel 6...when making the reservation, I was not told that there were no kings on the inside...only queens so we listened to the freeway going over the bridge, and the parking light blinding us because there were no drapes...no continental breakfast or breakfast buffet like other motels/hotels do....and for the rate, I would expect that compared to others...not even a 20% off coupon Your prices and selections in the restaurant/bar were on the obnoxious side compared to whats in town. Your just a another skimpy motel for the price....and the staff knows it.

    Bed was nice and firm,

    Staff, no elevator. When I went to the desk to tell them there was no soap in the bathroom. The lady at the desk said there was. I showed her a picture of two shampoos and one conditioner, no soap .the woman said she was by herself and was taking care of incoming guests and couldn’t help. I told her it wasn’t necessary right away, and could I pick some up in an hour or so. Sorry, can’t help. Could you maybe tell someone? That got a response. If I had known there wasn’t an elevator, I would have passed. 75 year old hips. Nice view, beds were comfortable.

    When I read the revies, most of them said that the stuff was very friendly. Unfortunately, the stuff was just okay. They actually lied about their pool. Before I booked a room, I called and asked them if their pool is heated. I was told yes. When I arrived, I asked the same question. I was told that yes, their pool is heated. Unfortunately, they lied for both times. Their pool is pretty cold and not heated. Their hotel is also not dog friendly.

    I liked my room. It was clean and comfortable. I liked the view; the hotel is located in the middle of the desert.
