Disliked: Staff & service
Front desk was rather unfriendly and unaccepting, but everything else was great though I would have preferred a curtain over the bathroom window just as peace of mind one truly could not see inside. Air didn't cool the room, but I didn't need it to and stayed comfortable temperature wise. I would stay again.

No frills but nice

Best part was the view of the river. The room suites my family we'll. No frills for sure. But it was a place to lay our head and rest and the kids had their own space. The view overlooking the river though... amazing

Despite the room&service, we still enjoyed ourtrip

We had to go to the office to get new towels after 2 days of waiting for our room to be cleaned which never happened. The creek was enjoyable. the owners seemed upset that we got the deal with Hotels.com We left a day early.

We reserved the room and when we arrived the office seemed to have no ac. We went to our room and the bathroom was very old, dingy. The beds were fine the room was ok. But we ended up leaving and checking into another hotel.
