The strikers outside the hotel were very. Annoying with playing their music very loud until 11pm until after one night of that I called bylaw enforcement and that stopped. Breakfast was good and personal was friendly.

We were there to attend a Foreigner concert at Casino Windsor Colleseum. Close to walk to from here. Close to Keg but we ate a very nice meal at River Room Restaurant overlooking riverside within the hotel. Panoramic window gave spectacular view of river and Detroit across the river. Great fireworks on 4th of July. Wish we had stayed longer. Will try to come back.

It was a great visit. Beautiful view of the river and great friendly staff. I keep choosing this place each time I come to town and it hasn’t failed me. The restaurant in the hotel was ok as well. Great service and the area had lots to do and see. Can’t wait for my next visit.

There is currently a labour stike happening so there was a picket line in front of the hotel. Didnt cause too much of an issue. There was no housekeeping. Our room was tidy but lacked a few amenities such as towels.
