The smell of chlorine in the lobby and room areas was pervasive due to the indoor pool. The pool also contributed to a high degree of humidity which made the area outside of the room uncomfortable.

Our room was SO damp being right next to the pool. When we got there and sat on our beds you could feel how damp it all was. The next morning we went down to breakfast at 830 (it’s over at 930) and all the food was gone. I asked if it would be restocked but no one ever came. We won’t be staying here again.

The hotel is old but it was clean. There were two electrical outlets between the beds on the nightstand, and there were other outlets in the room, of course. But there were no usb ports but that is probably due to it being an older hotel. We had a large room, 2 queen beds and a couch. The beds were soft as were the pillows. There was good water pressure in the shower. There are streets between, but we could see the Mississippi River from the room. It's only a couple blocks from Tom Sawyer's house and the other museums as well as cafes and stores. It was average priced, $214. I don't know if it's cheaper in the winter.

Clean but dated hotel. The big plus is that it is conveniently located only a block from the Mark Twain boyhood home and museums.
