Magnificent

The breakfast was really not that bad for a continental breakfast. I thought the potatoes amd sausage were very yummy. The bed was very comfortable. I slept like a sack of potatoes. Also, the room was nice and quiet and private.

Anniversary getaway

The lady at the front desk was very friendly. Check in went smoothly. Though clean, it's obviously an older hotel but you can tell it's had some updates. The free breakfast was good with your standard hotel breakfast options. I loved the balcony and the view of both the town and Ohio river was a nice touch.
