United States, May 2024

8.0/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were in need of updating and the AC unit was extremely noisy, but the bathrooms were recently renovated, providing some comfort. The location by the river was charming and perfect for exploring. The dining exceeded my expectations but the unfriendly service was a letdown.

Location

The location was charming with plenty of seating and the outside covered porch felt like sitting on the second floor of a Southern Antebellum home. Right by the river, it was perfect for walking around town or floating on the river.

Dining

The dining was excellent and far better than expected, especially the handmade pasta.

Facilities

The hotel had a historical twist and excellent service, but the entrance from the rear of the building looked uninviting.
