Staying in the annexe directly across the road had its perks with a room upgrade and excellent views of the river from a comfortable 4-poster bed. The added touch of a small port at the bedside in the evening was delightful. However, the communication with staff left me waiting longer and slightly unimpressed.

The hotel is located in an upmarket residential area right over the Mississippi, offering a tranquil setting. It is close enough to downtown attractions for convenience, and the added services like wine and chocolate truffles at check-in and port at turndown were a nice touch.
