Fun to be right along the Ohio River, close to river walk and historic buildings. Room wasn't as nice as we expected, clean but bathroom was small and cramped. Breakfast was pretty limited.

Such an awesome view of the Ohio River, very nice place and staff..wish I could have stayed longer! Close to downtown shopping and eats!!

Great place with a great porch to sit on and watch the river. Very clean and nicely landscaped. After being in the neat town for a few days i would still pick this hotel over the other options just for the view and porch and rocking chairs. The roll up window coverings are horrible though, they need some nice wood blinds, curtains or some other option.

Quaint hotel that was clean, staff was friendly and wonderful views of the Ohio River...we stayed on a Friday night and they have a great seating area with magical views of the Ohio River and live music! They also had a nice bar and a food truck...lots of fun and will be back!

This property was fabulous. Amazing deck, rooms were clean and updated. Amenities (bar, breakfast, etc) were great. The only complaint that I have is that there doesn't seem to be staff onsite overnight as we were woken up at 2:30am by people screaming and yelling in an obvious fight right outside our door and no staff to be found and the front desk lobby was locked. Still giving 5 stars because the fight was not their fault.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying on the grounds near the Ohio River. The band playing on the balcony was very entertaining and played just until 10 pm allowing for a quiet night of sleep. The spacious grounds were well manicured and the staff was very friendly.
