Room was in dire need of updating. I had to find the shower handle in a different room. You could see outside around the edges of the door. Staff was friendly. View of the river was nice. The rocking chairs outside each room was lovely.

8/10 Very good

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here. We like that it is on the river and in the park. Last time we stayed it has July 2024 and hot. We enjoyed it more when we could swim in the river and walk around the park at night. This visit was late October and cold. In the winter months a nice widow view would be better than a deck. It was wonderful staying in warm weather. Great staff as always!

Everything was great except for the bed. It was a little too firm for my preference. And the air conditioning only has one setting.
