We were very happy with this hotel. It was very clean and we loved having the river view and the river was right below us. We walked to two restaurants while we were there and there was also a close place to catch the “free” trolley! We will go back for sure!

Wouldn't recommend

Room 106 has a few updates in the bathroom such as a newer vanity, light fixtures, tub fixtures. The mattress needs replaced you sink into a pit on the left side. Overall cleanliness could have been much better. The bedskirting was stained and the walls haven't been washed in quite some time. The framing around the door has pry marks and daylight could be seen all the way around the door.
