Very clean, quiet, budget friendly vintage stay

The room was just as described by other reviews we read. Quiet location, right on the Kanawha River. Parking right in front of room, and very clean rooms. Nothing fancy, but a nice overnight and affordable stay.

Hotel by the river. So quiet, so relaxing. Room was very clean and comfortable. A little run down. Could use some professional touch ups. All in all, for the price, it was very nice.
