"Booked a staycation at River Inn for my wife and I's anniversary. Wonderful boutique hotel with an amazing view of the Mississippi. Staff were attentive and nice, and River Inn does a great job with the nice ‘little touches' of chocolates at turndown, wine at check-in, etc. The area surrounding the hotel is very nice and walkable to explore various shops and restaurants."
