Good people make bad experiences better....
Pros:

Tara on the front desk is what hospitality is all about and what is used to be. She made our stay a lot more pleasurable with some issues that we had earlier. We will definitely be sending an email to corporate about our experience both positive and negative. It went from not very good to 100% better. Thank you Tara for being very good at your job!

The sliding door that went out to a beautiful gazebo on the river was wonderful. Our 8 month old also loved the pool, great temperature

Beautiful spot, clean, lovely staff, definitely recommend!
Pros:

Perfect very pretty location right on the water with access to put in a kayak. Our room also included a great little kitchenette. However, its right next to the fabulous restaraunt One Eyed Jacks, and the hotel breakfast had good variety and the staff were lovely!

Cons:

The amount of goose droppings outside lol but theres nothing to be done about that.
