Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I knew the property was old and was expecting old charm. However, I was disappointed because they do not seem to keep up with cleaning and there was a musty odor through the property. The room was small and the chair and bed were uncomfortable. Only spent one night so it was ok. The location is awesome right on the river with restaurants and shopping all around.

Keep in mind the property was built in 1918 and we were in the "old" part of the hotel and the rooms were small but well maintained with time appropriate furniture. Probably not the best place for "Kids"

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Room had mold

Upon entering the hotel, we were immediately struck by a strong musty odor and an uncomfortable feeling of humidity. Unfortunately, our room was no different. As we opened the door, we were greeted by the same heavy air and unpleasant smell—not exactly the welcome one hopes for in a hotel. The air conditioning had been turned off, leaving the room hot and damp. It quickly became clear where the odor was coming from: a large patch of mold growing on the wall behind the desk. We understand this is an older property and didn’t expect all the latest upgrades. However, in this day and age, proper temperature and humidity control should be a basic standard to ensure both comfort and safety for guests. The presence of mold is simply unacceptable.
