Great Experience

We’ve stayed here twice now and it’s been a great experience both times. The rooms are clean, as is the rest of the hotel, and the staff is friendly and professional too. I recommend getting a room with the river view!
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a charming hotel right on the Mississippi River. This beautifully decorated, clean, bright hotel is staffed by pleasant and helpful staff. We loved walking around the area seeing fun bars and restaurants, cute shops, and the largest watermelon. The food at their restaurant was priced well and delicious. We highly recommend!!
Margaret, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Riverview room is worth the extra money! The hotel was more than wonderful, clean, beautiful facility. We were impressed.

Overnighter

Overnight stay, the hotel was exceptionally clean, comfortable bed with river view. Morning view of sun and river was amazing. Good times outside with nice drinks next to the fire.
Edward, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was pretty good except for one sarcastic waitress. A hotel's staff is only as good as its weakest link and why would the most expensive hotel in town employ someone unable or unwilling to work with all types of guests?
Janelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed over on Christmas Eve. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Had family and friends meet me for afternoons cocktails, and a staff member took great care of us. Quiet overnight with view of the river. Checked out early Christmas morning - quick and easy.
Drinda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean, the property is very modern and elegant. However we had requested a river view, and we got an alley view with notification. The windows of the building across the alley were so close that we kept our windows closed the whole time. We didn’t feel comfortable with having strangers look into our window. Plus, the view was very unpleasant. I really was looking forward to the river view, and just wish we would have been informed. I would stay here again but ai would not pay extra for the river view
