Comfortable and pleasant stay. However, overall, building along with rooms need to be renovated as its age and clear signs of deterioration could easily be seen.

Parking down below across from the river below the hotel was easy to access; hotel itself is central to downtown with easy walk to most things. Lobby claimed 24 hour bar, but not really true, the bar closes and they ask you to sit in the main lobby but you could still get a late night drink. Hotel is a bit dated, rooms (if not on river side) on weekends are LOUD - air is by opening the window so this does not help (no air conditioning). Beds felt more like a cot on wheels than actual bed; NO side table plugs (so if you travel with a CPAP or simply charge on a night table this is an issue). Overall room and hotel was clean, staff (especially front desk) very helpful and friendly but property shows some wear and tear, but I would recommend for Inverness for the price and location.

The towels were not replaced from previous guest. They brought us new ones and said previous guest did not stay. When we came back later we realized the garbage cans were full of trash and the room needed to vacuumed. Very disappointed and when brought it up to the front desk in the morning was instructed to contact expedia for a refund.

Stay was just ok. Room had no air conditioning, no fridge and staff were not overly helpful or friendly. I received an email from hotel 2 days prior to check in asking if I would like to upgrade room for a small extra fee if upgrade was available. I selected yes. On arrival staff had no idea what I was talking about and said the only upgrade they could offer me was for a smaller room.

Nice view

The surly receptionist gave the wrong room. We paid for a double room with a river view—what we were given was a room on the first floor facing an alley—and it was not even a double room. Almost $400 a night and that was beyond unacceptable. My spouse went and spoke to management and they eventually agreed to give us the room that we sought and paid for; a double room with a river view. The check-in experience was the worst I’ve ever experienced in 30+ years of travel. Rude receptionist was taunting me to prove that I purchased the river view room. After we got the correct room the experience at the hotel increased.
