The property is right on the river and that is very nice for walking. The hotel itself is very run down. The bedding was far, far, far away from premium! the rooms were dark and dingy with uncomfortable furniture. There was a layer of dust across the top of the headboard and the bed and pillows were lumpy and very worn. The breakfast was meh, although the restaurant staff did do their best to accommodate the guests. The pictures on this site are very misleading, we thought we were going to a very nice hotel, and it was adequate, but not luxurious at all.

Hello Mark, we want to extend our sincerest apologies concerning this issue and would like to hear from you. Specifically, which room you were in as we have brand new beds in the rooms as of 2 weeks ago as well as new furniture in 2019. Feel free to call the hotel and ask for our General Manager, Kathy.

I did not realize that there was no elevator and the only room available was on the second floor. We had a lot of luuggage, etc. having been traveling for a while and also staying at a timeshare so we had additional coolers, etc. Very difficult to lug upstairs! The reception attendant gave us a voucher for a free drink at the Sandbar restaurant so we were able to enjoy the ambience of wine and music. However that did not help with the luggage! On the positive side, the hotel has been restored and the rooms comfortable. The breakfast buffet was a surprise treat with lots of options and friendly service.
