How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Nice place close to the city. Tuck away for a trail walk, run, bike ride or sit along the river or playground.

This is a very clean park. It has tables and some are covered for picnics. There is Johnny on the spots but the restrooms are still closed. The water fountain is still off. There is a creek near by that I have seen people fishing in and kids wadding in. The bike path goes thur to one side so it's easy to ride here. There is a big open space for soccer, frisbee or kite flying. They also have a small splash pad here as well but I have never seen it in action. Very nice place to play.
