Beautiful old hotel. Decorated so beautifully for Christmas. Smelled heavenly!! I ordered scent they use. Front staff very friendly and helpful. Large room and comfortable bed. Lovely view of river and a riverboat from our corner room #702. Pillows a little hard for our liking and towels were pretty rough!! Corner basket for soap in shower fell off! I would definitely stay here again if in area.

A private event prevented access to the main restaurant and bar. The lower level bar closed at 8:30pm, therefore we were unable to make use of those facilities.
