The room was nice but you could tell it had a little damage from Helene. Had a slight musky smell at first but it went away. The stay it self was very pleasant. Had a view if the rive behind us and it was right there at the River Park.

John at the desk was extremely helpful upon check in. The hotel is old but in great condition for its age, lovely views of the river and quiet except for trucks first thing in the morning. Middle of everywhere you would wish to go. Very reasonably priced

The only complaint is this: the beds are hard, and none of us rested good because of it. Other than that, it was a pretty good. Nice view of the river from the shared balcony.
