9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1016)
"This property is located directly on the riverwalk and so convenient to everything in the charming historic district. It looks like an attempt was made to update the accommodations with flooring and linens but fell short somewhere when it comes to the bathrooms. (the walk-in shower had plenty of hot water and an updated rain shower head but the condition of the grout within the shower had it "floating" around while you were showering. The bed and pillows were amazing...the towels plentiful...
