This was our second time staying here and we will probably come back. It affordable, walkable and easy to park. We upgraded to a fireplace room and were disappointed you had to buy wood. It also would have been nice to have hotter water with it being so cold outside.

It was nice. We got a room with a river view and a fireplace. The room reeks of smoke, but I expected that. We did light a fire one night and smoke billows into the room, so that’s why. We tried to fix the fireplace and make sure the flue was open, but there’s no way to check. The room was nice. We enjoyed the private balcony overlooking the river. Looks like the bathroom may have been updated recently. I did step into the bathroom with no socks/shoes on and got short hair on my feet almost like someone cut their hair in it, so I’m unsure of how often the place gets mopped adequately. That was a little disappointing. I made sure to wear socks/shoes after that. The location was great, far enough from the hustle and bustle/noise of downtown but still completely walkable.
