Beautiful setting. We had a hotel room overlooking the river. We thought we read on Expedia that we would have a microwave and fridge. We had neither. We heated water in the coffee maker to make oatmeal and ramen noodles.

The room was clean however, i believe we were the first day of the season and felt the room needed to be aired out a little bit.It seemed a little musty. There was plenty of parking and beds were comfortable. They do not serve breakfast

Be absolutely sure you want this location because once you click confirm, they will NOT let you out of your reservation. 100% cancellation penalty. I did not test this but it’s what was in their confirmation email. The lodging was fine.. I mean if I’m paying enough for a ritz Carlton, I’d like to get something better than a fancy red roof inn but I guess to take what you can get..
