Expert reviews:

Frommer's

"At all of two stories high and half a block from the city's vibrant -- and eminently walkable -- Kensington District, the Riverside Inn is a delightful surprise." Full review

Fodor's

"Attention to the smallest detail sets apart this charming inn. Rooms are spacious and have fireplaces, patios, or balconies, and heated towel racks in the bathrooms." Full review

Ask for a riverfront room on the second floor if you want to enjoy a nice city view.

Jetsetter
