Comfortable Stay, But Know What You're Booking
Pros:

I appreciated the EV charger, comfortable bed and couch, well-stocked kitchen, and dining at Locals Restaurant on-site.

The room itself was comfortable and spacious after I was moved to a one-bedroom suite with a full kitchen. However, the room I originally booked was advertised as having a kitchenette and displayed a pot-and-pan icon, which led me to expect basic cooking facilities. Instead, it contained only a microwave, mini-fridge, and dishes.

I also found the “riverside” room description misleading. My room was tucked into the trees with very limited natural light and no meaningful river view. When booking, there did not seem to be a way to distinguish between rooms with actual river views and rooms facing trees on the river's edge, or my original room which was "riverside" but only had a river view by leaning over the balcony edge and looking around the corner of the building.

The pool area was shaded by early evening, and the combination of trees, shade, and bugs made the outdoor spaces including the balcony and riverside walk less enjoyable than expected.

Overall, the suite was comfortable, but I feel the room descriptions should be more transparent to allow more accurate comparisons when booking.

Pros:

Very convenient for our travel. It was great to have a kitchen where we cooked our dinner and breakfast, and the dishwasher was welcomed. We made good use of the laundry facilities and the provided soap and dryer sheets were appreciated. We enjoyed the nespresso coffee maker and appreciated the cream provided in the fridge. The room was impeccably clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great Suite, Variable Coffee Experiences
Pros:

A beautiful suite with everything I could want, plus some stuff I didn't think to want! The in-suite coffee is just meh, but there's a complimentary robotic barista in the front lobby with out-of-this-world GREAT coffee.

A gem of a hotel, we were comfortable and enjoyed the amenities of the inn room fridge and kitchen, hot tub after long days of exploring, and the free coffee was solid.
