This place is a hidden gem. Great for families or a private retreat. Everything you need is a stroll away. You're nestled right between the river with a park on one side and another park, shops and restaurants on the other side. I will definitely visit again.

The room was clean the beds were very comfortable. The location was perfect. The only complaint was the back door had huge cracks in the weathered door panels. We had to stuff paper towels in the cracks & the bath mat under the door to keep the room just warm enough.
