Summary: This was a great location; walkable to so many restaurants and close to public transportation. The rooms are nice with a couch and a table with chairs. We were 4 on a girls trip and we had plenty of space. The bathroom was also great. The views are beautiful if you get a room with a river view. There is one restaurant which is also a sports bar; good food and drinks. Friendly staff.
