"The room and hotel over all were both very clean and pleasant. The view from our balcony was beautiful and the fireplace cozy even if it didn't generate heat. We wish the jetted tub was a little bit bigger, but still very relaxing to soak in. Breakfast was a little different each morning, and always delicious. My husband and I agree it was the best hotel breakfast we've ever had. We'd definitely recommend Riverfront to friends and family."
