Bed cover and pillow covers are not wash between guests, so that is HUGE red flag for the cleanness of the rooms. Mattresses are cheap, really bad, so I would not recommend this for one night only! It was not good! Breakfast is a no no as well.
We love staying in this hotel. It is quiet and very peaceful. You have all the main attractions and local stores closer. The river across the hotel is a plus.
The room is s not sound-proof. The tub floor was cracked and there is black mold overhead. Theres a large sunken spot in front of the vanity...room 273. The floors are very dark laminate; no carpet, which is good. Lighter laminate would give some light to the very dark room. Room was quiet large. Lamps have to be plugged and unplugged to turn on and off because the screw-on button is missing. There was no place to hang dress shirts or dresses with a hanger. Place was convenient and staff was very friendly. Easily accessible. The stream outside our room was nice with the deck.
From the moment we arrived until we left, the staff were super nice and very accommodating! The room was kept warm and the wood burning fireplace was an added bonus! Loved the location, very easy to get in and out of and convenient to get into to downtown! Will definitely stay here again in the near future, already planning a trip for January or February!
Building is older and very dated, dust could be seen around table legs and furniture feet on the carpet, the bath vent was almost completely stopped up with lint and dust. The elevator smelled of raw bleach heavily all weekend. The river was a nice touch off the balcony.
This was just an over night stay for us. But wish we would have been there for a few days. The rooms are very cute the river and the walkway out by the river was so peaceful. Very friendly staff checking in. We hit the road and didn't eat so could tell you about food. But I will absolutely be back. Easy walk to grab a bit to eat also.
Outdated but quaint. Cobwebs in lamp shades, dirt mopped into corners in bathroom, door blinds dusty and dirty, base boards dusty! Property uses a 3rd party cleaning service that does a poor job of thorough cleaning. Property advertising fireplace in some room but charges $8 a bundle for enough firewood to last about an hour to hour and a half!
