A bit dated but acceptable accommodations. Breakfast was the average fare; yogurt, wannabe eggs, turkey sausage patties, cereal, apples and make your own waffles. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Best feature? Trolley stop a one minute walk. Super easy to get downtown without a car.

Worth the trip! Try the BBQ there. Delicious!

Pet-friendly and close to shopping and dining options. Walkable distance to the downtown area, with a trolley stop nearby for those who don’t want to walk (trolley is not pet friendly). Parking is available onsite, which is a blessing in a town where paid parking gets expensive and free parking is very slim. Breakfast was good. The building needs some TLC, and the floor in our room appeared to be a laminate-type product that had seen some moisture over time, but the room was clean and comfortable and there were areas onsite for our dogs to potty stocked with potty bags, fire pits with complimentary fire wood, corn hole games, etc. The balcony in our room was a nice place to sit and listen to the river. Overall, a very good stay.

I thought this property would be quiet b/c it;s a little further from downtown but still walkable.However it must be near a fire station or hospital b/c all night long lots of vehicles with sirens went by. They also charged us a $10 environmental fee that was not shown when I booked the hotel and that really made me question my decision to stay there.

Recommend stay… nice

The lady was a bit short & rude with her tone of voice and facial expression when I asked if the room was river front. I had no idea all the rooms there were riverfront. The room was very night, clean, and comfortable.
