Very friendly staff. It's an old hotel, so the rooms are smallish, but the location right on the river is great and there are plenty of bars and restaurants within an easy wal. The hotel bar/restaurant is a nice place to hang out and the food is excellent.

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.

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.

Parking was easy squeezed under with my luggage carrier. Got to stay on the haunted 3rd floor. Everyone was charming and friendly. They even allowed my crazy dog to stay. The Galley is a great place to eat right around the corner and had a rage against the machine cover band playing while we ate!
