The river view was fantastic, the staff is nice, and we appreciated the hotel's proximity to everything around it, but I wouldn't stay here again. We paid $700 for two nights, so we were expecting a very nice space, but that isn't what we received. Both the hotel itself and our room were VERY outdated. The blankets were paper thin, the HVAC system was very loud and didn't work properly, so the room was very cold. The hot tub had leaves and dirt in it. Aside from the river view and the convenient location, nothing about this place screamed "I should go back."

Everything was good except the bed blanket and heating. Blanket was very thin layer I couldn’t sleep well because I felt cold, they didn’t have winter blanket. The heating was very noisy.

The stay was definitely worth the money. The entrance could use a bit of a makeover, but the room was bright, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom was spotless. Plus, the room had a microwave and a fridge, which was super convenient. I'd suggest brightening up the reception area with some natural light and fixing a few things in the bathroom. That would really elevate the experience.

Not a property I would go back at any any price. This was a last minute booking due to other properties being unavailable, all about it is cheap and low quality from the room to the complementary breakfast. The lobby is dirty, the bed there were no blankets, the beds were noisy and the corridor smelly. I am not sure how this place got a good rating from others.

Nothing fancy. Great property within walking distance to town. Not your place to stay if you are looking for things to do on the property. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep at the end of a long day then I would highly recommend this place

We only stayed here one night and didn’t know about the fire place until we checked out! Definitely will be booking again! The rooms are small and facility is outdated but the morning, evening view was AMAZING! Hearing the river over the balcony is a sound I would want to wake up to everyday!!
