This is an aged property but they have done a great job keeping it clean. The bathrooms are remodeled with very good water pressure, sufficient space. Room is spacious for 2 of us with beautiful river view in Room 7. Daily cook to order breakfast is included in the room is a plus. The food here is delicious from breakfast to dinner. We had Easter Sunday lunch here unfortunately this wasn’t as good as the regular dinner. I assume it’s because of the large quantity of food the kitchen has to cook for the crowds. The location of the hotel is unbeatable. All hike trails are walkable from the hotel. Truly enjoyed our 2 nights stay. The staffs are very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely come back in the fall to see foliage in the area.
