"Not a view of the "Water""

5.0

A shuttle is shared with the Holiday Inn next door, and it would be nice to know that in advance. The building does sit on the river, and so a photo can be taken if you walk around to the end of the building.

The name is misleading, as the rooms do NOT have a view of the water. So I am not sure why it is advertised as a "waterfront inn". The venue is old, and needs a maintenance update.

"Ok"

5.0

Room was updated, and I had a nice view of the water.

There was a stain of blood on my bottom. Sheet, the top cover and comforter were stained. There was a big gap around my door that let all the cold air in. I could not get ahold of the hotel to get The shuttle from the airport to the hotel. I had to call about ten times before someone answered.This was very frustrating. Also when I got to the hotel, the person at the front desk wasn't there ,I had to wait at least 5 to ten minutes for the man to show up
