Disliked: Amenities
We stayed twice. Both times the first room sub par and both times clerk wanted us to get a queen room with a microwave rather than king bed room that we wanted. On this last time, room 2414 was too hot and finally moved to 7th floor room with its own thermostat and much nicer bathroom. Would not recommend River Hotel. Too hit or miss!

The location and view were great! The staff was phenomenal. The room not so much. The couch in my room was dirty and torn. I draped a sheet over it to sit down. The sink in the rest room was cracked. They definitely need to renovate this place.
