Everything was wonderful except we stayed on the 3rd floor and our hallway and our room smelled like mildew/mold really bad. Other than that the staff was amazing, food was delicious, hotel is absolutely gorgeous and it was in the most possible convenient location to shops, restaurants and touring the whole city.

The hotel was nice, we got woken up one morning by someone pulling the fire alarm, that was annoying. One day we requested to purchase the trolley and because it was so late in the day, the woman at the front desk told us no, then I explained about my knee issue and she said okay, but the fact that she instantly told us no without knowing why we were going to purchase the ticket, was unacceptable. The trolley ran until 5pm, so it shouldn’t have mattered what time we were renting it and for what reason.

We loved our stay at River Street Inn! The room was beautiful, and even the hallways had so much charm. We had a riverfront room and really enjoyed watching the boats go by and seeing all the activity on the street. The room was spotless, the staff was very friendly, and we can’t wait to come back. Absolutely loved it!

The room was absolutely beautiful. We loved it. The staff were very nice. The problem was the banging on the walls. I don’t know if they were renovating or what, but there was a lot of banging throughout the day. I don’t know about housekeeping. We had to request it. Getting ice was a little ridiculous. Our room was on the 2nd floor, but we had to go to the 4th floor to try to find the ice machine.
The view from my room It was a sidewalk where we could watch people walk by. Disappointing.
