A very nice place that fell a little short.
The people working there were wonderful, the location and views were exceptional. We expected more amenities for the price we paid. For example, upon arrival we were informed that they don’t offer their guests housekeeping services! We recognize that times are hard and help is hard to find. We don’t need to be waited on, but we paid more than twice what we usually pay for a room so we we’re expecting more.

Bathroom was old fashioned. Needed updating. I’d seen pretty rooms online but ours was only so-so and rather small. Carpet was stained and bathroom needed a once over. Smashed mosquito on wall. Very quiet. Lovely stream behind bldg.

Great views by the river and nice firepits at night. Only two towels, needed better luggage stands and cheap toilet paper. Nice property that could have been a bit better.

This is a lovely hotel in the perfect location. The staff are kind and so obliging. This hotel is not grand and luxurious. It is clean, very spacious, warm, comfortable and in the perfect location with a wonderful view. It is very well priced. I would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again.

DO NOT stay in a street side room. The traffic is VERY close to the rooms & starts VERY early.

No food options on site. The area we stayed seemed to be newer construction that was cheaply completed (low end construction materials). The fan in our bathroom did not work or maybe there was no fan.

Honestly this place is a mess. They promote it as a beautiful hotel with gorgeous grounds to walk on. It is not that. First of all the pictures are deceiving. The hotel is a glorified motel with a nice backyard. Which by the way, we didn't even get to see. We had a view of the parking lot with zero privacy. Nobody even instructed us how to find the yard. We had to search for it. Second, two different people walked into our hotel room with keys. Thank goodness we were just sitting on the couch, but an hour after we checked in someone came in and an hour before we checked out someone came in. That is so unacceptable it's shocking. Third, when we tried to check in they had no idea how much I owed and talked to me about someone else's credit card info. I had to tell them what I owed. We gave them a card and instead they charged the one on file for incidentals. Not only did they hold money on the wrong card, but they did it three times! So instead of $100 hold on the wrong card, we had $300 on the wrong card. The room is about as basic as a room could possibly be. No perks and barely even any art or anything. The room has a paper thin blanket on it and the wall ac/heating unit smells like fire when it's working and is very loud. The bathroom is so stark white and boring with a giant crack in the wall. Had we paid $100-$200 for this night we'd let this all go, but we paid $420 for this absolute scam of a hotel. Not to mention, the hotel is under construct

I strongly recommend this hotel for room furniture, view, cleanliness, quiet, location and registration service. No food service but there are a number of eating places nearby and a supermarket across the street (far back from the street)

I liked the hotel but not crazy about the room this time. It did overlook the river but very little privacy. Overall a very good place for the price. Stayed there before with a much better room
