Wonderful location and beautiful views. We stayed on the 3rd floor. Only con was the tv didn’t work and there were tiny ant looking bugs in the bathroom. Otherwise I’d definitely stay here again!

Room was the pits, location was great.
A closet of a room - no business making something so small and claustrophobic and it wasn't clean. The hotel itself has some character, but that doesnt save it for us. Area was great, but we'll absolutely stay somewhere else next time we're here.

Beautiful River View!
Our view from the 15th floor was stunning. We were in a standard room with a queen sized bed, but unfortunately neither one of us slept well because the bed is just not comfortable at all. We appreciated the hotel
offering bottles to fill up with drinking water as that saved us a trip! I would recommend more hand towels and washcloths in the bathroom. We were only given 2 towels and one single wash cloth to use. Staff was kind and all in all it’s a beautiful and ideal location for travelers!
