We arrived at 2:00 pm and we're greeted by the friendliest gentlemen in the parking lot. He assisted us parking our large truck, & was extremely efficient. We were delighted that our rooms were ready & we could check in early. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Nice updated decor. Excellent location, close to everything.

The location is great. Located right across from the river and so convenient to restaurants and downtown historical area. The room is up to date, clean and comfortable. Sherry at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The only downside was the noise from outside.
This was taken from the deck above the entrance.
