We got a mini suite and the bed was comfortable and unit was clean with soft new towels but those were the room highlights as well as a view of the river right in front with access if that is what you will be doing here. This was a step above camping and the property is old. There is no staff full time but self check in went OK. There is Wi-Fi but the whole area is lacking in cell service outside so be aware. We were there for a wedding nearby so did not use the property for leisure. There is a golf course down the road that served an excellent breakfast with a lovely view. The hotels along the river all look pretty old so this may not be uncommon for the area. If you are looking for a bargain this serves the purpose and had small kitchen and fridge but our room had only a large fan and no A/C unit. Some relatives had a room next to ours with free standing rolling A/C unit that sort of worked. Stairs to climb up to top rooms no elevators but we were able. If you need to sleep it’s OK.

For the price, this was a great stay. A little bit outdated and the facility itself needs some TLC but overall beautiful and a great stay with an attentive manager. Would definitely stay again

This property was a major letdown, even for someone used to budget travel. I came here directly from a camping trip with very modest expectations—and was still disappointed. From the moment we arrived, communication was disorganized and unclear. There was no staff onsite, no cell service, no Wi-Fi info, and a sign on the door instructing us to call or message via WhatsApp—without any way to do so. After leaving the property to find reception, I finally got a message directing me to retrieve a key from a dropbox—without any in-person interaction. On top of that, we were placed in a completely different room than the one we reserved. We had specifically booked a room with a private balcony for a special occasion, and instead were given a unit that opened to a shared walkway, with broken blinds and zero privacy. During our stay, we were blocked in by another car. When I asked for help, the only response was to “ask them to move it,” even though there was no indication of whose car it was or how to contact anyone else. No staff were present at any point, and there was no further communication. The room itself was outdated, worn, and clearly not maintained with care. What’s most frustrating is that the property seems to charge a premium simply because it can—not because it offers anything close to a quality experience. It feels like no real effort is made to maintain the space or provide basic hospitality. The attitude seems to be: “people will book it anyway."

I loved the private access to the lake, very convenient and beautiful way to start the morning. The manager, Jay, was very kind and flexible despite the curve balls we threw at him. The place was cozy but does need some work. I liked the convenience of having a kitchen.

I did not get the room I paid for. That was the reason I stayed there, to get the room with the spiral staircase to an upper bedroom. Instead, they put me in a cheaper room and gave my room to someone else. They did not even say sorry or attempt to make it up in any way.

Property needs major TLC!

We had an okay stay. It has a nice river view but the propery is very outdated. The bathroom was tiny and a bit dirty. The kitchen stove was rusty and cabinets were old that the paint were already chipping. The window blinds were broken. We had to kinda fix it to cover atleast most part of the window. The room was a bit dark. Not enough lighting. I didn’t feel comfortable staying inside the room, more so sleeping on the bed. The bed sheets has overwhelming stench. Fortunately, we always carry our own bedsheets, blankets and pillow covers for such situation. Unless they upgrade, we don’t see ourselves staying in this property again.

Jacquelyn, OAKLAND

Liked: Staff & service
Like: I had to call the number posted on the front door when I arrived. The call was answered quickly and the host came immediately to check me in. She also added a heater to my room to help heat it up (without me asking). She was very friendly and confirmed where I could grab some food. She came up and knocked shortly before 9pm to make sure I was warm enough and ask if I needed more blankets. I could smell the detergent on the sheets (not sure about the blankets though) Didn't like: The room could use a little updating. The blinds were rickety and did not close properly. Luckily I carry sanitizer wipes because there were a few spots on the toilet seat and under the toilet seat.

It amazes me. Someone could easily renovate the room. As it is, it smelled very bad, the sheets look like they are from a thrift store. Cabinets are damaged and paint is in very poor. They are obviously milking every dime from this place and barely even cleaning. There is someone’s contact lens stuck to the wall in the bathroom.
