Pleasant stay

Nice hotel facing the river. The bed is comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms are super clean. Shampoo and conditioners are available upon request. There is not breakfast served but hot coffee in the lobby. The location is beautiful, right by the river.

Overall it's not a bad place. We got in early and the staff let us check in. We needed to get ready for a wedding so that was really helpful. The air unit was a little noisy, but everything else was fine.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was nice, but services are non existent. No daily cleaning, no toiletries in room, and when we got locked out of our room after hours with no one at the front desk, it took us about 2 hours to get back into our room. The process in place for lockouts does not work well
