Beautiful place we really enjoyed our stay, the view from the balcony was beautiful. Only bad thing is the beds are springy and uncomfortable I didn’t sleep well for the few nights we were there.

Great place to stay
The stay was good and the people that checked us in were great.
The “breakfast”was not very good at all and was the same thing every day.
Overall the place was very nice and definitely would stay again.

Great stay for the price!
Stayed here with my son for a football weekend. Room was clean and spacious with a balcony overlooking the river. Great stay for the cost! Would absolutely book again! It’s an older property but clean and well maintained.

I'd give more than 5 stars
This place was absolutely incredible. It was our first time staying here and we will be frequent visitors. The woodburning fireplace was worth it. The staff was super friendly, even allowing us to check in early. I highly recommend the honeymoon suite with the deep soaking tub, it was too good. The balcony overlooking the river was the icing on the cake for a perfect romantic weekend.

It was one of the best hotels ive ever stayed at. The only issue we had was that the $8 bundle of wood wouldnt burn long because it was kindling.
