This was a perfect place to rest and relax after long days of hiking and traveling. Loved the deck with the river view, and really appreciated the hot tub reservations so that it wasn't crowded, beds were comfortable. Winthrop is a charming town and everyone there including hotel staff, was very kind and helpful.
