The room was just as described: 2 queen beds, fireplace, and river view balcony. The river was right outside the balcony, and it was wonderful to sit out there to relax and listen to it. There is a walkway along the river, a covered bridge, and a community patio area. The beds were kinda saggy and soft, but did their jobs. Breakfast was carb heavy with biscuits and gravy, pancakes, bagels, fruit, and yogurt. Overall, I would stay again for the river view, the quietness, and the trolly stop right out front.

Good no frills hotel

Our stay was great. This is a very old hotel so you are gonna get that rustic cabin old feel. There are some updates but more are needed. Breakfast was your typical free meal. No protein at all and it stays the same all week so if your staying there for a few days it’s gets old. If you want a great breakfast go out and spend the money. The pool was dirty and closed but they were cleaning it the day we left so hopefully that will be up and running soon as it was in the 80s the last few days we were there. All the workers are super friendly and helpful. Keep in mind that River rooms sit on a nice river but you will be looking at people right across the river from your balcony if your on a lower floor. The river was beautiful but we got the view of a house that looked like a dump with everything you can imagine in the yard / carport. The lady was gardening all day and night long so it was kinda weird as you sat on your Padio and watched her do her thing. When booking maybe keep your room closer to the event side or go up a few floors. I asked for a ground floor but if I knew this was the view I would of gotten I would of went up. If your paying more than 60 bucks a night your paying to much for the room. There is also an added resort fee of 10 bucks a day I believe . Not sure why cause we went to the front office to get everything we needed and we left a tip every morning at breakfast and also left a tip when we left . Not sure why that fee is in place. It’s a budget friendly PL

Was very enjoyable, a bit more of a walk than I intended but no problem. The only downsides was the breakfast and also the building across the creek at the end of the buildings. Kind of killed the view but as long as you looked up towards the rest of the hotel and not directly across, it was beautiful. I might stay again but the breakfast does make it or break it for me. The attendant was very hospitable so it's nothing on him but no variety at all when it comes to the food, just bread in different forms.. biscuits, pancakes, bagels and cereal. Especially considering everything else is so expensive in the area.

We were looking for a clean, peaceful getaway and it just didn’t happen. I ended up making the beds every day except one, since the maids kept coming before 10:00 am to clean and they wouldn’t come back, when we asked for only 15 minutes. They did manage one day to stop in, and they left the towels on the bed, they threw the comforters up near the pillows, and left the sheet hanging down touching the floor. They failed to vacuum and the floor clearly had crumbs on it. Trying to enjoy a peaceful time on the balcony listening to the creek, and all of the sudden a strong smell of marijuana came from the balcony above. Although they advertised as a non/ smoking facility, you are allowed to smoke on the balcony. Breakfast was the same thing 3 days in a row, so we ended up eating out. And the hair in the gravy kind of sealed the deal for us on not going back to breakfast. The floors to our rooms were so disgusting. The elevators were just as bad. Bumble bee nests were everywhere as you walked to the elevators. I don’t normally complain, but I just feel that others should be aware of what they may encounter.

When we arrived they put us in a room and the heat did not work the knob was broken and wasn’t even hidden just broke and it was 35 outside, plus the phone didn’t work so I had to use my cell to call the front desk, the. The 2nd room they put us in was supposed to be no smoking and it was not, the room smelled like smoke very bad, the 3rd too Was better but the walls were paper thin and the people next door was up all night, it was a very bad experience
