initially, it was fine...until we found dead flies...tons...under bed, on chair. sounds like its a common issue...then we started seeing Japanese beetles crawling around the ceilings and walls...another common issue. someone came up to vacuum the dead ones up like it's a daily thing. luckily it was just for a one night stay. very limited continental breakfast. bought breakfast from the onsite restaurant..very good, reasonably priced. no tv in the room, so we watched the beetles. can't recommend this inn...

I cannot recommend this hotel. It was completely outdated. The room did not have a tv. The service was subpar. I asked for an extra pillow and was told they didn’t have one. Mind you, the hotel was no where near full. I felt like I was staying at my grandparent’s house. Most items on their restaurant menu were not available. I would NEVER stay there again. Had I not paid in advance, I would have left and found someplace else to stay.

This is a perfect INN, not a hotel. Staff (Josh) was perfect. Rooms were one bed with bathroom. Refrigerator was in the hallway (none in room), No TV. Which was perfect. All guests ate, drank at the bar and visited with each other. It was PERFECT. We met a lovely young couple from Switzerland, Group of Older women on a women's vacation as well as locals, construction workers and truck drivers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The staff was very busy but made time to talk and visit with you . The available Bar and excellent restaurant are a big plus. It’s an Inn by the river, but they made you feel like you were home.

The staff at the inn were all incredible, the first time they met you they greeted you with your name and all the staff always knew who you were anytime they saw you. They were always happy and cheerful toward all of there guests. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice clean and tidy. We also ate at the hotel and the food was wonderful. This was a wonderful place to stay, my wife and I actually had extended our stay because we liked it so much. Thank you to all the wonderful staff that work there, we can't wait to return
