Great location and restaurant in the hotel was amazing; very walkable to all the shops and the river. Great outdoor spaces and the rooms were very spacious. It's an older hotel but has been nicely updated and the service and staff were great! Highly recommend and would stay here again. I would probably live here if they would let me!

Was very convenient location and parking was easy. Not a lot of effort from the staff to make you comfortable, felt like more of a nuisance. I feel Like our last few rooms we have purchased via Expedia, the hotel has put us right off the lobby. Loud in the morning.

Loved the location of the hotel in downtown Holden, the bar & restaurant were great - the only drawback was the outdated room furnishings - dark, brown & gold rooms - like the rooms from the 1980’s!!
