Great area with nice views of river. Older hotel that could use a little TLC (ie bath tile was moldy) but otherwise had a nice stay. Staff was great.

I use to come here quite often. Haven't been in some years. Place isn't the same. A string of hair was in the corner of the sink, which is unacceptable. They asked for my request but didn't honor it, and it was a simple request. Sad to say that will be/was my last time there.
