This property is tastefully updated for an older hotel. The craftsmanship for this time period is remarkable. No musty “old hotel smell.” Our room was very clean with a comfortable bed. The staff were fantastic, particularly at the smaller bar/eatery. I recommend this landmark hotel !

Clean room, some furniture a little the worse for wear. It is clean, quiet, and safe. Convenient location as it’s right in the middle of town. WiFi was terrible. Pool and fitness centre looked good but didn’t get a chance to use them. Can recommend Vinny Vanucchi’s for dinner.

Old world elegance with all the modern amenities. While breakfast was not free at the hotel, an extensive and reasonably priced breakfast is available on site at Caroline's. Their giant cinnamon roll is large enough to split with your partner...also super delicious!

Stayed here with my kiddo when we were visiting the Mississippi River Museum. He declared, "Mom! You *have*to review this place and give it 5 stars!". So there you have it. Clean rooms, great location, nice pool, and all at a great price point. My kiddo even got a pack of baseball cards from the front desk staff! The restaurant downstairs was able to accommodate my obscure, but serious dietary restrictions, so that was a great added bonus. Highly recommend.
