Would recommend
The hotel is situated in a lovely place by the river. We had a riverside room w/a balcony and listening to the river while sitting on the balcony was very relaxing. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Hot and cold options were available for beakfast. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We plan to return and recommend this establishment.

I was Charged double for a room that was completely different from the room i booked! No one make any effort to fix this problem or make it right! I am disgusted with the way the manager didn’t try to help in anyway to resolve the problem! He was rude and unapologetic! Never been so unsatisfied as with this property!

Our keycard to the room never worked. Furniture in the dining room should have been replaced long ago. The area around the hotel felt very industrial and beside the river was not very pretty. The bed was comfortable, however the sofa bed was old and still had an uncomfortable and noisy spring mattress. The cushions on the couch looked like the had been redone, but they looked horrible like the my didn’t fit. The shower would stop working in the middle of taking a show, and the come back. Liked the coffee machine with all the different choices of coffee.

It’s a nice view over the river. We stayed one night after dropping our child off at Western Carolina. The drive into the hotel is kind of weird and run down but the hotel itself was nice. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. No complaints.
