I loved that it was a nice older hotel that felt like going back in time. The rooms were nice, furnished with antiques with a sternwheeler theme. The location was walking distance from everything. There was a rooftop patio where you could sit & watch the paddlewheelers, barges & other boats go by or watch the moon rise. Very charming!

Keep in mind the property was built in 1918 and we were in the "old" part of the hotel and the rooms were small but well maintained with time appropriate furniture. Probably not the best place for "Kids"
