Disliked: Staff & service
Pretty run down & dated property. Staff (one person) seemed irritated to be there. There was supposed to be continental Bfast but we didn’t see anything or anyone so we just left. Parking lot was empty (other than one car) so I suspect we were the only ones there.
A very nice place to stay if you need to go to Mio
The hotel is awesome and just a few hundred feet from the river. We visited in late December 2024 so we didn't get a chance to actually go down to the river, but there are other places to get to the river then from the hotel.
They should remove the continental breakfast that they claim they have oatmeal a bagel and a pastry is not a continental breakfast it's junk and they should think you're up here in the woods where else you going to go eat just stupid

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We recieved a room that had not been cleaned and the Roku TV did not work. We were given a second room that they knew the TV worked and they knew had been cleaned.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Continental breakfast was less than mediocre. The pool is posted "no children under 4", like seriously?!?! If you wanna watch TV, you better have a Netflix, YouTube TV, or Disney membership (luckily we did); however, the room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and staff was readily available.
Not the worst place I have stayed, it was okay but found garbage in room still from previous people (dirt sock and tank top/trash) and just seemed run down/outdated for a king suite with jet tub. Remotes for both tv were missing/ staff did bring one for the rv in bed room right up.
They offered a breakfest but it was just bagels and muffins, better than nothing. Wasn’t real impressed overall, would not be a place I spend that much to stay again
