Stayed over on Christmas Eve. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Had family and friends meet me for afternoons cocktails, and a staff member took great care of us. Quiet overnight with view of the river. Checked out early Christmas morning - quick and easy.

Very nice hotel, very clean. Shower was not great. It is a regular bathtub / shower combo however, there is no door. Just a small glass partition. Water goes everywhere onto the bathroom floor. Price was not great. Way too expensive for the area. we had a small gathering in the outdoor area in the evening. We had our own alcohol and was told by the bar manager we either had to leave or purchase their alcohol to stay. We choose to leave. Anyway, nice, clean place but way too expensive for this area. I will prob look at other options on my next trip.

The room was clean, the property is very modern and elegant. However we had requested a river view, and we got an alley view with notification. The windows of the building across the alley were so close that we kept our windows closed the whole time. We didn’t feel comfortable with having strangers look into our window. Plus, the view was very unpleasant. I really was looking forward to the river view, and just wish we would have been informed. I would stay here again but ai would not pay extra for the river view

We were visiting our daughter who just moved to the are. We enjoyed the view from our room of the Mississippi River. For the price we paid I would have preferred two ply toilet paper and softer tissues. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. We will stay again whenever we visit our daughter because the location was perfect!
