It's a great place to stay. Our room was a bit small and with virtually no place to work on the laptop. The bathroom was very nice. Everything was clean and neat.

My only complaint would be the shower head not having much pressure to it and being very low so you have to bend down to wash your hair and the pillows are way too fluffy for a good nights sleep. Besides those things it’s an amazing experience being so close to everything and very quiet and peaceful. The staff’s was amazing.

Beautiful next to the river. All air conditioning units were all broken in every room and it was over 100 degrees. They didn’t bother to inform us before arrival. It was way too hot to sleep. We ended up checking out at 1 am and drove 2 hours home. The male manager had a less than friendly attitude. Got us once. Won’t get us twice.
