Basic hotel in a great location.
My room was large and clean. There was lots of hot water for the bath/shower. There was a coffee pot in the room. The lobby had instant coffee and tea available. Underground parking, pool, and restaurants are located in the hotel next door but I did not visit them. The hotel’s best feature is it’s location on the river. My room had a marvellous view. The town site is small so everything is walkable. The staff were very friendly. I was notified before arrival that the elevator would be under repair during my stay. I appreciated the consideration.

Dated building but nice bedroom space. Quiet. Could not leave the sliding doors open during the night due to safety/security and temperature regulation of room. Parking was free and not a problem for our pick up truck. Staff were super friendly and welcoming.

Simple and clean
The room was simple and small which is perfect if you spend the day away and just need a place to sleep. It's right by the river and I'll likely be back once the trees are green.
