Great for the price
Front desk staff were great! She was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room a/c unit was stuck on heat so that made the room unbearably hot , we opened the balcony door to cool it off and sleep. Bathroom is a lil outdated but the beds were comfy

This is a below-average hotel in a fantastic location. The bed was comfortable. The doors had drafts, and when it's in the 20s outside, that's no good. There were nearly no decorations, definitely not "homey" like the photos. The door to the adjoining room was SO thin. I could clearly hear the family in the next room converse, and they left the TV on all night. ALL NIGHT. The staff were ok. Didn't really want a timeshare hustle just to get my parking pass, though.

Wonderful location!
My daughter and I took a much needed getaway and this was the perfect location. Our room was overlooking the river and I couldn't have been more pleased with the view. Our room was very spacious and CLEAN. I will definitely be returning.

Hotel was old. $500 for two nights and it’s outdated. No carpet so you hear every step from the people directly above you. The fireplace is tiny. Have the logs that would fit in the usually space and puts out no heat. Online picture looks like theirs a restaurant but they told me at check-in without my even asking “the restaurant is closed, never opened back up after Covid and we have no housekeeping so if you need extra towels etc come up to the front desk and we will give them to you”. Finding your room is confusing and parking is weird and would be a nightmare during season. It was ok for the two days we stayed sight unseen but there are many other nicer choices around. Would not go back or recommend to others.
