If your main priority is the room, this hotel is wonderful; we really enjoyed our stay. The river view is well worth the extra cost, with three windows to watch the sunrise and sunset. The room is very clean, and everything seems quite new. While the exterior looks worn, it did not bother us at all. We also loved the in-room K-Cup coffee.

I really liked the Waterfront Inn. We had a beautiful view. The rooms appear to be recently updated. There is no elevator which could be an issue for some. We had a rental car so didn't use the shuttle. It was a convenient driving distance. We also enjoyed food at a Pub that was only a few blocks away.

Rooms Nicely Renovated

I stayed here last year and was pleasantly surprised to find the rooms renovated, with very good quality work and fixtures. Road access is excellent and great location along the river and next to a park. I'll definitely be staying here on my next visit to the area.
