I was a bit worried as I pulled up to this hotel situated on a main road. Once you enter this beautifully decorated hotel, you know that your stay is going to be great! The room was so clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was just as lovely. The front desk staff is so friendly, and the sitting room is so peaceful and has a terrific vibe. Just be in the know that one side of the hotel, although it has a lovely river view, it also faces a railroad track, so if you aren’t one who can handle the noise associated with a train passing by, you will want to ask to be in a room that faces the main road. If I ever have a need to come back to this area, I will absolutely look to book another stay at this hotel.
