Cute room, sweet staff, and fun historic establishment. We stayed in the two twin beds room. Nice river view and very comfy beds. The only somewhat bad surprise was there was no fridge in the room. Take a small cooler if you plan to store cold stuff.

Definitely a older traditional hotel feel. Very old, classical rooms and atmosphere however a lot of charm. Lots of activity going on in the bar area and cafe/food places. Times were a little tricky as to who had food when but great service.

A very old hotel clearly past its day but it was OK for us. Room was clean, bathroom small but very functional. The restaurant actually had pretty good food and was pleasant. “Fitness Room”” totally bare except a sit down bike and treadmill. Evening staff helpful, daytime staff surly and unhelpful. Plenty of parking. Large parts of hotel not open, no breakfast service, no quiet areas to relax and read in

Sentimental for us, since we honeymooned there 25 years ago. Bed was way too soft for my liking, but the view of the river was great. Not handicapped accessible where we were, but we got help.
