This hotel is super nice even though it’s an older property it has been completely renovated. The staff were the best I have experienced at any hotel including all inclusives. It was amazingly clean and well maintained. The only drawbacks were, loud ac, no pool/hot tub, tight parking spaces, and the shower head wasn’t great (dual heads would be amazing as it is a huge shower. Those things were far from deal breakers. The river balcony was amazing and even saw a bear! Would absolutely stay there again!

The check-in person met us at our car and then took us to our room. He had wine delivered and they also brought ice. Very nice and helpful. Loved the balcony over the river. We sat outside for several hours just enjoying the water. So relaxing. Would love to stay here again.
