Great place stay. Family owned and run by them. The beds are comfortable with 4 pillows, nice back porch to sit on and view the river. They also have a nice pool and pinic area. The trolly stop is right across the street and it's free. It's quiet at night too. Definitely a great place stay, would recommend a 1000 times over :)
