A pleasant summer weekend stay compared to some other quality inns. Didn’t have a great view with the balcony room they gave us but I see there were worse rooms to have in the main building that we were placed in. Staff was firm but polite overall, mentioning heavily that they are a smoke free property upon the check-in. Beautiful river. Property was bug free we were there. Was nice not to have flies or mosquitoes ect. being so close to the river and pool. Pool was clean and a nice temperature. Breakfast was decent. Many options, apples and bananas as the fruit served while we were there. Was pleasantly surprised housekeeping knocked on everyone’s doors (asking if they needed anything). Housekeeping staff caring to have that extra touch, was unexpected. Thanks

Poor air conditioning vent direction.

Bathroom door caught on tile floor. Hard to open. Door needs clearance. Air conditioner vent direct blew cold air on body when lying on bed. As the result, tried to block air by using pillows. Very uncomfortable night.

I dropped my leg pillow on the parking lot, not only did they find it, they put in a plastic bag (it had gotten soaked in a rain storm), and called us after we checked out. Fortunately, we weren't too far down the road. My sciatica appreciates all of you.

The room was nice. But there was no microwave, which I didn't check first, but expected. And, I realize smoking is bad, but I always book a room with a balcony because I do not smoke indoors. But I do enjoy setting on a balcony and relaxing with a cigarette. We will not book this property again 😒

The property needs cleaning; with noticible old spider webs around breakfast room, I don't think the pool is suitable for using, cracks everywhere and pieces of concrete from the pool missing, and is dirty too. Never got my room cleaned even when I requested service, misscomunication is an issue between the staff. Overall the area is nice and I enjoyed the creek and river behind the property.

Room was clean and spacious. Surprised it did not have a microwave in room. Was expecting a balcony room with view of river but got a lower-front facing room with balcony looking out at parking lot. River was a good distance from back of property, so guess it didn't matter, but not what was expected from description. Room was convenient to parking and breakfast area. Breakfast was just ok. Nothing special. Property is located in a good area and not too far away from shopping and restaurants.
