Room was large and clean. Staff was friendly and coffee every morning was good. Valet parking was super easy and great location on the river. Only issue was it was fairly noisy where our room was near the stairway and a door was slamming throughout the night, each night.

Stayed for our wedding anniversary. They gave us a bottle of wine and a free meal in one of the restaurants on the property. All the staff were super friendly and helpful if asked anything. Rooms are clean, but needs some cards for guests to identify minor maitaince needs. Overall great, attended the manger's reception, open bar and hor dourves. Only thing, they charge a 'resort fee' on top of the room cost of $35 a day, so it isn't really free.

I would definitley come back again! Everything was so unique in this place and the size of my room was much bigger than anticipated. The staff was super friendly and the room was fairly clean; the rug under the bed could have used a vacuum, but that was minor compared to everything else. Wonderful experience all 'round!

It’s a beautiful place with entrances on two streets for shopping and dining (because it’s built on a bluff). Get the river view. The sight of enormous cargo ships and steamboats is mesmerizing. And the bed was comfy! I must say the house staff were just the best I’ve ever experienced. They answered our confused questions with grace and humor and made us feel special. Requests were immediately tended to — our TV went on the blink and they swapped it out at once with a new one from the penthouse! It’s a special place — quite pricey but worth it.
