If your main priority is the room, this hotel is wonderful; we really enjoyed our stay. The river view is well worth the extra cost, with three windows to watch the sunrise and sunset. The room is very clean, and everything seems quite new. While the exterior looks worn, it did not bother us at all. We also loved the in-room K-Cup coffee.
