My stay at the hotel was mostly comfortable, but it had some drawbacks. The rooms were large, comfy, and well-equipped for our needs, although they were hot and had some cleanliness issues. The location was great with a river view and easy access to attractions like the Mississippi River Museum. The staff provided mixed service, with some being nice and helpful while others were rude. Overall, a decent stay with a few areas for improvement.
