Great stay on the water

We had a lovely stay here! The hotel is well maintained and relatively modern looking. The rooms were comfortable and its always nice when hotels offer a microwave in each room. We had a gorgeous view of the riverwalk from our room as an extra bonus! The staff were very friendly anytime we interacted with them. The daily breakfast was pretty good and they tried to change up the menu items each day to provide some variety. Overall we had a great stay here and highly recommend it to anyone taking a trip to Owensboro!
