Lots of river view rooms, view is beautiful. Location is right outside of the busy downtown stretch, so quiet enough yet very walkable. Note that public parking around town is expensive.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with this hotel, after driving from Florida I was told I could not check in until 4 pm or there would be extra charge. I came to the check in 3 times in the day, and was told the same thing, last time being close to 3 pm. This is ridiculous I could not freshen up or use restroom after such a long trip. I was not even offered to park my car by the receptionist. I ended up going into town feeling uncomfortable and ended up checking in after 9 pm, where at this time there was not even any parking left. I was not able to enjoy the river view or balcony since I was not able to check in until the evening, where I was exhausted and had to take out all the luggage after a very long day. Honestly this was a terrible experience, and I do not recommend this hotel. After all the expenses and price of the hotel, asking for more money to check in early at 2:45 pm is absolutely ridiculous and totally inconsiderate. The room was empty and ready. Over all not a good experience and I was in disbelieve!
