The views from our river view room were gorgeous. The hotel has been updated but definitely still needs some TLC in other areas. Our room did not have a deadbolt and the door didnt close properly unless it was pushed or pulled shut. Bathroom was tiny but beds and pillows were very comfortable! Hot tub temperature was good. Parking on the river side of the street is very limited. Lot across the street is poorly lit and traffic flies by as you try to safely cross the street.

The hotel room was adequate but not what I would expect from a "boutique" hotel. It was clean and comfortable, just not impressive. The restaurant food was very good, and the staff were polite and friendly. I did some laundry and the dryer was not working. They offered me some quarters to take my clothes to another property and dry them, but I did not want to run around town with wet clothes so I had to drape them over my luggage and put them next to the room heater. The receptionist said the dryer has been an ongoing issue. Management needs to bite the bullet and replace equipment that doesn't work. Other than the wet clothes we had no real problems, it just seemed like the room could use a refresh.
