The partner restaurant next door has a great breakfast for purchase. Staff were really friendly and interesting. Mid November 2025 there was daytime construction across the street. But also the river is very nearby, and amazing stars were visible in the dark sky to the west. We are thankful for our stay.

The check-in staff was friendly and fast. Our room was clean. There are no bells and whistles in this hotel. We stay here to sleep and shower. If you are able to, stay on the side that faces the river as it is beautiful and you will very likely see some deer. The checkout was equally as fast, with friendly staff
