I will start by saying this is not our first stay here. If you like older charming decor, this is the place for you! It is an older building with older decor, but clean. The staff is friendly, room clean and nicely cooled. The bed so comfy, best sleep! Parking garage right next to the building and the riverwalk is walking distance, which is convenient.
