Summary: This hotel stay was exceptional from start to finish. Three nights on the 34th floor overlooking the river was awesome. The location downtown was the best ever.

Summary: Me, my nieces, SIL, and her Mom all stayed in two rooms. We have a tradition of going to the Walnut Room, staying downtown overnight, and making a weekend of it. It was perfect. Perfect location, Pedro was outstanding. I really loved it. Will definitely be back.

Summary: Nice hotel with a great location along the River and steps to attraction in that area. We appreciated that the property has suites at reasonable prices and breakfast at a real attached restaurant. We'd definitely go back to the River Hotel.
