This hotel is in a beautiful area right off the river! It is very pet friendly, which was awesome for our two pups. The daily breakfast was great- the biscuits are heavenly. The few cons we experienced included: a less than warm welcome arrival from the night shift staff, recurring issues with our room key not working, someone vomiting on the second floor bridge, and not realizing there were no washers/dryers onsite.

Would like to see more options for breakfast. Also breakfast could have more meat options outside of pork. Most people getting away from pork. Other than that I enjoyed the coffee oh and the snacks went so fast we didn’t get any.

The room we had was very cramped. The closet was above the refrigerator and coffee maker. It was hidden behind the barn door to the bathroom. I requested a different room but they claimed none was available. She mentioned my expedia discount which made me think it was because of this that I was given this small room.
