The Inn was very clean and cozy. To see the ships going through the locks wasBFF amazing to see from our balcony. It did not disappoint. I will make sure to stay here again.

If you are looking for a Hampton Inn type stay this place is not for you. If you are looking for reasonable price in quiet neighborhood with chance to see barge cruise past your window… then give it a go.
