Great boutique hotel

Its a great boutique motel, with some amazing views of the water. The motel was super clean, and the room was great. My only complaint stems from the not so comfy mattress and the crappy pillows. Everything else, from the self check-in process to the room itself was fantastic. I would consider staying there again

Very nice clean rooms, ac worked great. The check in process was easy, I wish more places had an automated setup like this place. The river is right across the street, so even if you dont have a view, its a short walk. Even though its right on the highway, it was pretty quiet at night, not much traffic.

The property was clean, but small with small beds. The bathroom was clean but very small. For sleeping there was nothing wrong with it, but it wouldn’t be comfortable if the weather was inclement and you had to stay in the room.

The view of the lake is great. Can watch both sunrises and sunsets. Some things like displaying WiFi password in the room and just a couple very minor maintenance items could be an improvement. Overall happy with my stay.

If you are looking for a 5 star experience, go somewhere else. If you are looking for an affordable, clean room with a comfortable bed, you have come to the right place. Nice view of the lake. We liked it.

Waterfront absolutely beautiful . Beds are not that great and we stayed in the double full with kitchenette however ours was on the first floor and come 5:30-5:45am there was noise in upstairs apartment and woke us both mornings someone getting ready for work most likely just very thin barrier and can hear walking across floor and bangs very cleary. If we return I will book the standard double full and we won’t have that problem as there is no upstairs apartments .
