Clean rooms and a comfortable bed

Very comfortable bed, very clean rooms and clean property. Parking is extra ($20/day)and limited and the sleep is very noisy (we had a fan and ac running so we still slept well). The location is on the west side of the historic district with a short 2 to 3 block walk to the west end of the river front.

The location and staff were wonderful. It was just a short walk to the river front area. The rooms had not had a deep clean in a very long time. The cleanliness of the bathroom and the AC unit were not up to my standards at home.
