Great hotel in great location with balcony views of river. However directly across river was brightly lit parking lot and bar band that played loudly until late night and ruined the experience.

This is such a nicely-themed property, and it’s a plus to have the Chattahoochee River just outside our room. There are several stairways that lead right down to the river.
