DO NOT STAY HERE
This stay was HORRIBLE. I was notified at check in that there would be no room service/cleaning. The first night of our stay, we discovered that the room was filled with dozens of huge flies and found mouse poop on the bathroom floor. I checked out early because it was extremely uncomfortable to stay in our room and have been attempting to reach the hotel to get a refund to no avail. Avoid at all costs.

The backyard facing the river was very nice. We only stayed one night, but the walls are paper thin. We could hear the people next door like they were in bed with us.

The office staff was very nice and the office is beautiful. Parking was very easy.
The room we stayed in smelled extremely musty, the shower was dirty and the shower handle was broken. No screen on the slider and the air conditioner was not usable as it had such a bad odor it made the room smell worse.
We will not return again, definitely not worth over 200 dollars a night.

Staff was most helpful and friendly. Only complaint was area in front of sink was too small. Perhaps if bathroom door swung inward instead of outward, It would work better. What can I say, but a man must have designed it! Just ask a woman next time! We enjoyed 2 quiet restful nights. Thank you

Nothing to write home about, but good for the price. Met my expectations, and I didn't feel the need to flee and go elsewhere for the night. No sign of bed bugs as mentioned in Google reviews. Staff was friendly.
