Room was clean. Balcony was lovely looking right at the water. Breakfast was delicious. My only complaints would be the way the bathroom was laid out the water just pooled into the center of the floor leaving a literal puddle if you took a shower. And if you get the end room [im assuming the ones with the tub] you hear the washing machine running alot. But over all everything was wonderful.

It's really super cute! They did a great job putting lipstick on a pig in the best way possible. The room is clean and comfy and the river view and sounds are fantastic! I was apprehensive due to the town being one giant tourist trap but if you're visiting the park and need a respite, this is the place :)

Room was clean, view excellent, concierge and housekeeping staff very friendly and accommodating. Two recommendations: 1) Room 103 needs an outdoor light. We must use flashlight to see keypad at night. 2) Add pegs or coat rack on wall opposite door to hang jackets. One concern: Our air/heating unit only blew cool air. Staff assured us it would be fixed. You could see it had been worked on as decorative cover was removed, but it still blew cool air. Never heard anything more from staff; it still blew cool air and decorative cover never replaced which we took to mean more work needed. Update from staff would have been nice. We used fireplace for heat.

So glad we chose this property. Perfect for the 40+, no kids crowd. A bit away from the worst of the traffic, the balcony over the river was a wonderful way to begin and end each day, and the restaurant and bar at the property was top notch.

There is nothing wrong with the room. But you should review where the hotel is compared to downtown. It is a little bit away from everything, but that was a plus for a peaceful evening. Dinner ate the Heirloom Room was AMAZING! I loved that we had our own parking spot. The rooms were fairly quiet you didn't hear a lot of road noises so that was a plus. I would stay here again.
