The fact that it was right on the river and had boat slips available. Didn’t like that it was next to a very busy road

Pros:

Smack dab in the middle of the city. Right on the river. You could walk everywhere you need to go. There are probably 10 dining choices within a few minutes walk from the Inn. The mattress was probably the most comfortable I have slept on.

Pros:

Easy parking below for floor our room was on and above for rooms on the above floors was very nice. Nice view of the River. Centrally located for quick walk to all the shops and restaurants.

Showers could use an upgrade for pressure and height

Not recommended.
Pros:

Honestly, the location is very good. However, there was virtually no staff. The hall and rooms on the lower floor were all tile. As a result, every time someone went in or out of their room, the door would slam.
Of course, the only things that really matter in any hotel room are the bed and the water pressure. The shower was barely more than a trickle. The bed should have been put in a dumpster 5 or 10 years ago. Whenever I sat or layed down on the bed, I literally sank into the mattress 8 to 10 inches!
Certainly, I'm not blaming the skeleton staff. The owners need to update or sell.
