This was a lovely stay, so tranquil. Couldn’t ask for nicer outdoor surroundings. So nice to have the coffee in the main room any time of day, it was a nice little treat at 6pm to go get a little pick me up of coffee and say hi to the other guests. Didn’t make it to the sauna, maybe next time. The whirlpool bath has a tv in the bathroom which is cool. Only complaint would be the smell of cigarette smoke as the smoke does come in from the windows from the smokers on their porches. Otherwise a most pleasant stay.

Check in was really easy and convenient. You can tell the property is a little older, but our room was massive. We had a gorgeous view of the river right outside our room. I wish we could've gone on a trip on the local paddle boat, but they have scheduled trip days and hours that didn't correspond with our trip. The sauna was nice and got plenty hot, makes for a specialty that you don't usually find in hotels. 10/10 would stay again. Lovely town too, and great antique stores for any downtime.

Worst bed I ever slept in. Once in bed, you sank inches deep. Impossible to turn. Whirlpool tub had cracks that were patched. Hole under sprinkler in bathroom. Very limited outlets, some over plugged by facility. No amenities except coffee. Did have a patio, didn't use. Ice machine. Room 1009.

I was frustrated because I booked it through Hotels.com. Once I got there I saw that I could have booked a cheaper room directly from them.
