Too Expensive for What you Get

Rooms need to be updated. Floor was peeling in several places. No iron and ironing board. Would like to see a shower in the rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful (except for the lady doing the breakfast area).

The lady was a bit short & rude with her tone of voice and facial expression when I asked if the room was river front. I had no idea all the rooms there were riverfront. The room was very night, clean, and comfortable.
