Room was extremely small and bathroom was smaller. Otherwise, the location was perfect and everything else was excellent. The restaurant is exceptional.

Location, location, location! Right next to river & restaurants, excellent bar just outside entrance. Very clean & courteous staff, rooms are small with no microwave. Would definitely stay here again!

The bar vanity light could not be turned off at night, took an hour to find any staff (they don’t have a concierge at all night - this was at 11:00pm), and when someone showed up he put a towel over the light instead of moving it and unplugging - not a great sleep!
