Beautiful setting on the River . Close walk to local clubs. Rooms have always been clean and pest free and I've stayed many times. A tad pricey but adore the evening happy hour and morning omelets .

We had a great experience here! Beautiful, clean and much to offer. The two free happy hour drinks is a nice touch. Wish parking was cheaper though.

Yes, there's a problem with crickets here. I had one somewhere in my room last night. Luckily I could close the door.

What the hell is this cricket thing all about?

Cameron Hiatt

Renovation is turning out beautiful!!!

Greg Swan

If you have crickets keeping you up all night, don't bother asking for another room. They all have crickets = intolerable infestation.

Greg Swan

Look out for dead crickets in the bathroom . It's like a game! A gross game.

Mouse in room. Ridiculous. Will not be staying here again.
