The property was nice. Great location on the riverside. I was very disappointed however to learn upon arrival that the outdoor hottub was not functioning. Also as far as breakfast, the eggs were powdered eggs and the bacon had a very 'unique' color and pattern....powdered bacon?

Staff was absolutely amazing! From front desk to the shuttle drivers. Room was great size & clean. Comfortable bed. Hot water with good water pressure in the shower.
Breakfast was a bit disappointing, but included with the stay. The pool was closed for maintenance, but were able to use the pool at The Lodge.
Would stay again!

Hotel was easy to find, super clean, staff was great. Loved the suite with the separate bedroom and jet tub. Breakfast was a little sparse with no fresh fruit. According to the front desk the shipment they ordered didn't arrive. So I can't really blame them for that. But the food they served was pretty good.
