I feel like the hotel is a bit overpriced for the quality of the room, but it is close to the river. The area around the hotel is not great and I worried a bit about the belongings in my car as all the spots in front of hotel were taken and I had to park along the side that was dark (moving across the country was just too much to bring in), but I felt safe as an older woman. I would never book a hotel based on shower reviews, but the shower was amazing!!! :) Free parking was nice!
