It's a great location right on the river and very close to downtown but it could stand some upgrading. I will stay there again but next time I'll get a cabin. There was too many people outside our room talking way too loud to late at night.

Disliked: Amenities
Left my earrings and they refused to send them with out me sending a envelope "FedEx only" to have them shipped to me. After spending over $500 for two nights I find it hard to believe they couldn't afford to send them to me. Breakfast was all frozen or prepackaged. Yuck. The towels were scratchy beds okay. Need more blankets. Would not recommend.

Great location
Perfect place for a 2 day mini vacation. Loved the swings down by the river. Our king room was updated and so nice. Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip. We didn’t need to drive anywhere. Our car stayed at the property the entire time and we were able to walk everywhere.
