Beautiful Valley River Inn

So exciting to be back at Valley River Inn. It was even more gorgeous than I remembered. It lives up to its name—the river views from the room and restaurant were spectacular.

Was hit with a $15 per day parking charge that was not advertised on the booking! The clerk said it was just started. No hot coffee or other amenities most hotels offer Fitness center is mediocre. Will not stay here again. Poor customer service and failure to disclose added fees like parking!
