Very clean, friendly staff, beautiful view of river.
Nice view, staf were very friendly. Romm just had a fue issues. The bathroom heater knob was broken and the bathroom door had no lock. Also very little parking with a sign pole in the center of the entrance.
Hotel is right on the river with seating overlooking the river. Located among pine trees with a picturesque view. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We didn't arrive until late at night, they text to inform us on where to find our room key.
Room was super clean with everything looking very remodeled recently. The grounds are beautiful next to the river, particularly during the sunset. We spent a lot of time by the river snacking, and just looking at the scenery. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the place was quite quiet, even though it’s fairly close to the highway.
We stayed at this hotel to do some climbing at nearby Lovers Leap. It was a convenient spot and I was surprised at how quiet it was for being right off the road. Comfy rooms, friendly staff. Would recommend!
This hotel has a 10/10 location. The river is really nice and they put canopies and chairs by the water. Hotel is fixed up and very clean. I lost my wallet and the hotel staff found many children to help me look. It was in my bag

Disliked: Staff & service
Chair was really cheap and room was pretty basic but a cool spot right by the river
The two beds in the room were the worst ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Put goid mattresses in your Rooms!
You have a 9.4 rating. Not sure what the public was rating. The beds were the worst mattresses I've ever had to sleep on!!
The Ice machine was for One Customer only. I wish all hotels had to have a certain standard to be renting rooms to the public.
I've driven by this property many, many times and never stopped. But what a great spot. Lounging/bbq areas and firepits right on the river. The lodge next door is beautiful and has pool, foosball and a great deck overlooking the river
