Great location and room.
Pros:

Great location and nice room.

Cons:

Our balcony and room was overlooked by the walkway. Had to shut the blind to stop people peering in. This meant that we either had the blind up and could see the river but had the occasional person walk up the gangway and when looking at the running river would have a direct view of everything in our room and balcony or we shut the blind. This only impacted room 217 from what I could see.

Maybe not like the pictures
Pros:

I loved the restaurant and the inn keepers they really made sure we had everything. The balcony was also really nice and we could see wild life from our window.I loved the location it was just far enough to feel like a sanctuary but close enough to stroll the strip.

Cons:

I believe we was put in a handicap room (we did not request) but I under stand. The room was a little underwhelming compared to the photos.

After a shower the water would build up around the toilet and the bathroom cocking had black spots.

The TV would only half work as well.

I think i would still stay again but avoid the room

Overpriced but the view is wonderful
Pros:

The view is wonderful. It’s located in a quiet place a little bit farther from downtown

Cons:

- one of the responses from the property says that breakfast is included. But they include it if you book directly from their website.
- there is no front desk. You can’t really get ahold of anyone if you need something early morning or late night
- online checkout doesn’t work. Refer to the item above
- there was no water in the room
- AC is NOISY. you really need to turn it off to get some sleep

Decent
Pros:

The location and walking distance to the shops and restaurants.

Cons:

I didn’t think it as a luxury hotel. Bathroom weren’t clean and there was dust and webs in the room. The pillows were super uncomfortable and because we booked through booking.com our breakfast wasn’t included.

Pros:

The location and staff were wonderful.

Cons:

It was extremely hot and the air struggled to keep up so was a little warmer at night than we like it. The room was a little small but it was cozy.
