Disappointing

We paid extra money to make sure we had a river view room. When we walked in the room, instead of seeing the beautiful view of the river all we could see was dirt on the windows. I am not just talking about a bit of grime, but the whole window was covered. Completely ruined the view, and definitely not worth paying extra money for. Very disappointed for a “boutique” hotel that charged an extra $30 service fee on top to stay at. Would not stay here again.

Building was a little outdated, walls were thin and we had to park across the street (although not a huge deal for us personally). The view was outstanding, and it bought some quiet to a bustling travel town. We booked in advance and got a great deal on our stay. I would not pay $300/night for what a room was listed the weeks leading up to our stay if not booking in advance. We were there for a sports tournament only and would stay again when looking at reasonable options where a water park is not needed/wanted.
