“Frankly, I find it difficult to recommend this property given the ongoing labor dispute, complete with picket lines and noise. Even without that disruption, complaints about outdated rooms and extra fees give me pause. On balance, the location near the riverfront is a plus, but not enough to outweigh the negatives I perceive.”
