The spigot in the shower constantly dripped and made excessive noise constantly. Breakfast was very fresh and hot. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful.

The hotel perfect! Staff were very helpful, it's in a great location, and the room was lovely. Having the Falls City Market downstairs is just the icing on the cake, it's a great spot to grab coffee or lunch.
