Breakfast at the hotel was perfect for us; so much so that we never went out for breakfast which saved us money. The beds, shower and facility are all nice and clean. The location is great, too. When I come back, I will look to stay here again.

Great location, parking is a bit limited if you get in late. But an employee was leaving and we parked there and then didn't move the rest of the trip. Very walkable area. Staff very friendly. Room was comfortable. Breakfast area is too cramped. Food choices were ok.

All the rooms overlook the creek, which was very nice and you can hear it while you sleep. The sheets and comforters were clean and white, the whole room felt very clean and smelled good. We came in the spring so we did not use the pool. The staff was very nice and they offer a continental breakfast in the morning and cookies in the afternoon. We even saw two separate bears down in the creek while we were there. Very cool place tucked in off of the main drag on River Road but easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Highly recommend.
