The ladder to the “loft” is ridiculous and dangerous. Get a spiral staircase or a better architect. The cement floors are freezing. The Bathroom mirrors are placed awkwardly to the side of the sink. The towels are placed stupidly far away from the shower. The heating/cooling system soothes you to sleep with a constant chirp/hum. But the coffee is good.

The hotel was beautiful and in a great location near mainstreet and the river! It was perfect for the wedding we were attending. The lack of 5 stars was the staff, not personable (except for the manager, she was great!). They seemed bothered by us dropping by front desk to even check in or ask a question.
