Wonderful hotel!! Beautiful, and loved the historic value of it, having many photos, furniture and paintings to replicate when it was built in the mid 1800's, so cool! The location is awesome with many restaurants and shops just outside the hotel doors, with a Riverwalk very close by as well-The staff was so very nice and made our Valentine's Day stay perfect with them, very accommodating and helpful. Our room was very clean and we cannot wait to visit again! Thank you!!
