Fantastic!
Pros:

The room was spacious, modern and spotless. The location was excellent. We loved our balcony overlooking the river. Breakfast at the Heirloom Room each day was a treat. The staff was so helpful and friendly. We loved everything about it! It’s a real gem.

Awesome stay
Pros:

Love the concept of a motor inn. Vehicles right outside the room, easy access to load and unload your luggage. And great walking distance to everything else.

We absolutely loved it, this was our first time staying for our first actual anniversary trip it was a blast!
Pros:

The view was beautiful right by the creek, absolutely loved the fact we was within walking distance of everything.

Cons:

I would say that in the winter months when guest are due to arrive have a staff member go up and turn on the heat to a medium temp such as 70 degrees. Possible place a small microwave in the room just for guest to be able to heat left overs from meals.

Not comfortable COLD and unwelcoming check in
Pros:

Pretty out balcony and room was pretty

Cons:

I adv heat was not throwing much out cold entire stay in hotel room. Check in terrible had to walk around outside to figure out where someone was I had to go to restaurant to find out what to do. I’m handicapped and had to walk all over to find someone. I was told I would be refunded 10% back haven’t received that I don’t feel 10% is enough for cold room making it uncomfortable should be more

Definitely not worth almost $ 400 a night
Pros:

The view and location

Cons:

The air conditioner didn't work very well and made a loud rattle that kept waking us up. The bathroom door was hard to shut, you had to push really hard.
There is no office on the premises. The restaurant is very understaffed.
