After reading reviews I was pleasantly surprised of the high quality of our room. We had a premium king room in the river house. Was large and bathroom was also large with a jacuzzi tub, shared balcony overlooking the river. Walking distance to town, shops and restaurants. Only stayed one night for a wedding in town but overall had a very good experience!

Great location, walking distance to downtown Woodstock and there’s a grocery store across the street. Parking was easy and we loved the fire pits in the back at night. Room was spacious but felt a bit dated and dirty. Other than that it was great for a fall weekend in Woodstock.

This property does not look like the pictures online. It was clean and had a great location, but past that, it was just an older motel that had been painted and cleaned up. There was no real lobby or check-in desk. They offered coffee in the morning, but it was broken the day we stayed. The view on the back side was pretty, but I really felt like we were in a 2 star motel. No extra amenities, and the furniture looked like it was all from a thrift store; worn out and needed updating. I was hoping for the cost to find it as beautiful as it is in the photos online. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. Note, the hotel room door opens to the outside. There was no interior hallway to our room. This made it feel a little unsafe for two women traveling alone.
