The air did not work and it was so hot. Not enough lighting in the room. The bathroom light stays on to long after getting up in the night to use the bathroom. Probably won’t stay again

Anniversary getaway

The lady at the front desk was very friendly. Check in went smoothly. Though clean, it's obviously an older hotel but you can tell it's had some updates. The free breakfast was good with your standard hotel breakfast options. I loved the balcony and the view of both the town and Ohio river was a nice touch.

The room was very clean, including bathroom area. Loved the shower head and bathroom amenities. The balcony was wonderful with a perfect very of surroundings. Breakfast room was clean and comfortable with a good variety of food items. Ice machine closed on middle floor of hotel. Very close to all the attractions in town. The staff was very attentive and helpful. Mattress was very firm, but that seems pretty standard these days and I guess some people like that. I would recommend and will absolutely stay here again if back in town.
