This a beautiful old hotel. Family and friendly vibe. We had a Riverview room which we took full advantage of watching the sun set and in the morning rise. Very quiet atmosphere that was very relaxing. We spent time at the pool, taking photo ops and did a little shopping that was in walking distance. The hotel offers a high priced lunch and dinner option but there are plenty of other options to choose off sight. I will be returning to this place.You can also bring the family dog possibly an option for the next trip.

So excited this place reopened since I have many childhood memories going there and my parents were married there. I wish they still offered their buffet in the fine dining room. That was a real treat back in the day. Observations: The staff was very nice. Love the Inn. The wedding spaces look very nice. Rooms have been made modern very nicely. Will stay there again. However, there is no ramp for ADA access into the Dive restaurant. Unfortunately, the temp control was broken to several rooms including ours. It got a little chilly. They offered extra blankets. We understand things happen. My mom who is elderly couldn’t work the television and we tried to help. Not everyone has smartphones to watch their own things. What really bothered us is the property’s speakeasy Prohibition was closed during our stay due to being short staffed because of weddings on-site. This is the 2nd time this has happened out of 3 visits. The last stay it was closed due to a private wedding related event. Since the first time we discovered it we talk about going again. Then we arrive only to find out it is closed again. I think you should be able to buy drinks at their Dive bar, maybe have them stay open a little later, so you can take them into Prohibition to take in the music and ambiance. So after having 4 disappointments during one stay I found it surprising that no courtesies were offered to us.

Beautiful view of the water

Such a beautiful and peaceful place right on the water with walking distance from stores and restaurants. Would have been better if thy hot tub was adults only. Too many kids using it, kinda was a bummer.

When we reserved i requested a 1st floor due to disability. Not only didnt i get a 1st floor, i was put in a 3rd floor room and there is no working elevator. All bags needed to be cartied up and back down at checkout. Also let desk know that the light was not eorking in our entrance hall and it was very dark. Noone came to replace it during our entire 3 day stay. Lastly we awoke to ants in the bedroom and bathroom ateas. When we told the front desk their reply was we dont have any bug spray. Not a good vacation stay.
