This was the 4th time that my husband and I stayed at the Bow River Inn. This alone should show that we very much impressed with the accomodations. Our room was clean and well appointed making our stays extremely comfortable and enjoyable. The pricing is more than comparable and we have often found the Bow River Inn to have better than the competitors pricing. We would definitely reccommend the Bow River Inn.
