Fodor's Expert Review Oxford Suites

The decor is modern, functional, and attractive; granite even makes an appearance in some of the bathrooms. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the river. Free drinks and appetizers are available evenings in the dining area adjacent to the restaurant on the lower level. There's also an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and steam room.
