Parking was good. We thought we had a view of the river but did not. So when it says river view it is not the river view.

Staff were great. The location to the riverwalk could not have been closer. A very boutique hotel. Not all the amenities of a chain which we love. Super quiet. Beds were great. Very clean.

The room was clean but several stains on the rug, smelled like urine. Hotel is pet friendly so I'm assuming that was the smell. Rugs should be cleaned. Noted that its historic but is outdated. Pictures posted are false advertisement. At least the one I stayed in was not like advertised. Unfortunately, will not be staying here again.
