Liked: Staff & service
Staff was great and the hotel was surrounded by stores and restaurants. The hotel lobby and the lounge area on the 2nd floor had nice decore and amenities. Unfortunately, the room was a bit outdated and the mattress was very uncomfortable. Overall, we are happy with our stay with the price we paid and may look into booking at the River Hotel again in the future.

This was a decent hotel in a great location; many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathroom was a bit small and dated, but fine for my short stay. I would stay here again.

The hotel was in a perfect location right in the heart of downtown. Very walkable and very safe. Lots of food options nearby. The hotel itself was great. We arrived early and they let us check in early. Everything was well kept. They were very accommodating! I would definitely come back here again.
