Stayed here because river was easily accessible (right outside door) and on property. Nice little beach and plenty of bench swings. HOWEVER....bring you sleeping mask. The hallways (which are all outside) were EXTRMELEY bright with LED bulbs in front of each door and light filtered in at every crack and crevice and to make matters worse the curtains barely covered the windows making it impossible to even remotely get the room dark enough to sleep. We even tried covering window with extra blankets to no avail. Otherwise, enjoyed this property and would have given it 5 stars. Neither this or that....Pergo floors...keeps feet sandy. We prefer carpet.

The property was right on the river. The beds were amazing. Outside was very worn, but the room was updated. Excellent and friendly staff. The bathroom was covered in ants and my daughter made friends with a rat.

Best River view and DOG FRIENDLY!!
Husband and I was there for our 10th wedding anniversary. We had our 80lb puppy/dog but our baby. The water area was clean and plenty of places to grill and it was never over crowed on river. They have a nice green grassy area for the dogs to play or potty.. pet station is provided with bags and trash can. This is were we will stay from now on.

The hotel is located next to the Chattahoochee River and the hotel has swings, picnic tables and benches for their guests' use. We enjoyed sitting beside the river and watching the people tubing float by. It was very comfortable with large trees providing shade and an occasional breeze.
