We appreciated the politeness and efficiency of the very limited staff. The owner/manager/cook was onsite. Breakfast - the only meal served — was very good. Room was clean, bathroom was fine, nice small balcony off our room overlooking the river, parking included.

The room was clean and the hotel has an excellent view as it sits high up on a hill. We saw a beautiful sunrise from our room. The owners were gracious and friendly. But the bathroom door and furniture were a little beat up.
