Nothing was said about no elevator until we headed to our room on the second floor. We are in our 70’s and can’t lift luggage. Staff tried to help but she wasn’t much more help.

Disappointing stay.

It was pretty disappointing. I called the day before to see if I could get early check in because we were going to a memorial. She said they were pretty understaffed and I understood. When we got there, we couldn’t check in early so I changed in the public bathroom. When we returned from the memorial at 4:30, we couldn’t get in our room because they were shortstaffed. We weren’t able to get into our room until 630 when we did the TV didn’t work. We also were unable to get two keys because they didn’t have enough keys to give us to. While the room was clean there just isn’t enough staff to keep this running smoothly.

We were there to celebrate my oldest child's graduation. It was a nice trip and not far from the Mary Hill Stonehenge and museum. I loved the view from our room! It was so nice to be able to sit on the deck and watch the river and look at the dam! So many types of birds to watch as well! The staff were amazing and friendly! Unfortunately, there is no elevator and my husband has a bad knee, but he managed to hobble his way up the stairs. That was our fault for not requesting a bottom floor room. Would definitely stay there again and I have been telling my family to look into this hotel if they are ever out that way.
