I loved this gem of a hotel, full of history, quaint yet spacious rooms, great restaurant on premises, across the street from the ohio river and its steamboats, and walking distance (literally next door and up the street) from shops and cafes. Just wonderful!

I loved that it was a nice older hotel that felt like going back in time. The rooms were nice, furnished with antiques with a sternwheeler theme. The location was walking distance from everything. There was a rooftop patio where you could sit & watch the paddlewheelers, barges & other boats go by or watch the moon rise. Very charming!

Last September we enjoyed staying in a Riverview room. This year we stayed in August in a street facing room. The traffic noise was terrible. It was difficult to sleep.

Keep in mind the property was built in 1918 and we were in the "old" part of the hotel and the rooms were small but well maintained with time appropriate furniture. Probably not the best place for "Kids"
