Randomly found hotel on Expedia. Upon arrival we were surprised by the location to only discover the newly updated retro decor and the friendliest staff. We were welcomed like old friends. We selected the Room with the river view with minimal noise even being so close to the main thoroughfare. The room boasted the most comfortable bed and a rain shower. 10/10 recommend!
