Good for a short stay

Motel backs above the river. If possible get a room with a patio facing the river. Our room was fine. Microwave and frig. Bathroom was in the process of being remodeled. What was done was lovely. Very nice family owner. Has an outdoor pool and is pet friendly. Good location.

Older property but in a very convenient location. Easy walk into town or to the lake along the river walk. Rooms are pretty basic. Microwave & refrigerator in the room. Keurig coffeemaker in the office so only available during office hours. Rooms really need room darkening curtains and pillows are terrible, so bring your own. A/C is loud but that helps block the noise from neighbors going in and out of cars right outside your room.

Room without a view

The hotel is on the river which is nice. We cancelled our stay and were refunded the entire amount because we were under the impression we would have a walk out patio to enjoy the view. Double check your reservation or call ahead if you are expecting this as advertised. Without the patio the room was very small and the bed not great and not worth the high price.
