The good abt the room and hotel was the location and the river view. The bad was having to kill a bug crawling on the ceiling and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The rooms definitely need to be remodeled.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)

The only complaint I have is that the room (bathroom) reeked of a foul smell upon our arrival. We cleansed, wiped, sprayed, and sanitized as we do at every hotel. The smell went away, but did return later.
