Quaint and Modern

Enjoyed the personalized service from start to end. The room facing the river does overlook a parking lot and marina before seeing the river, but it is still pleasant. Attached restaurants were tasty. Appreciated the history and encourage you to splurge for a balcony. WIFI was strong enough to work from the room.

I picked this place for the jacuzzi tub but it was really small and only one person at a time. The shower was also reallllly small. The building is very old and shows its age but very clean. We weren't impressed for the price but it was an okay place to stay.
