The surrounding area was wonderful, nice walk along the river. Beautiful homes and building within walking distance. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. The breakfast was delicious with multiple choices. The negative, the staff, they were inattentive to our presence. Food would run out and when asked they responded with be out there soon. Worse, they may have had earbuds in, and at times they would just ignore our request and walk away. The person at the desk during check out was unfamiliar with their computer system and our reservation needs. I would say some training is needed.

Property was perfect for our 1 night stay. The area was in the older part of Evansville by the river. Historical homes and churches were all around. Close enough to Ford Center to be able to walk there. Hotel parking was convenient. It would have been nice to know there was $10 charge prior to checking out.

Great hotel

This is our favorite hotel in Evansville. The corner rooms are huge, the beds are comfortable, the staff is friendly and the breakfast is good. It's so clean and well taken care of and it's very quiet. We love it here.

Away trip with the wife. I have a new favorite hotel in Evansville. If possible get a corner room 209! The room was very large. You could actually put 2 more beds inside that room. Great friendly staff and good breakfast. I would pick this over any hotel in Evansville.

Great stay!

The room was very spacious! Everything was very clean! Breakfast was delicious, lots of options. The staff were extremely helpful. There is a $10 parking fee if you book with a third party. We had a top corner river view which was just gorgeous to see! Would definitely recommend staying to anyone. Plenty of things to do within walking distance as well!

The walls are paper thin. The people in the room next door sounded like they were in our room. No noise enforcement of quiet hours. Breakfast attendant, Mia, was delightful though.
