I had a lovely stay with my daughter for a school trip at this quaint motel. It may feel a bit outdated, but it had everything we needed, and Jay, the manager, was incredibly attentive and kind. The hotel offers a fantastic riverfront setting, which made for a truly relaxing experience. However, I found one room to be a bit quirky and less suitable for larger groups due to its layout.

Our stay was quite disappointing overall. The location is beautiful, right on the river, and the grounds are well-kept. However, the service was overbearing, the room had several issues, and we encountered numerous inconveniences during our visit. It felt more restrictive than relaxing, despite its potential as a nice getaway.
Rooms

The room was decent but not special, with a locked bathroom door that needed a safety pin to unlock it. There were only two towels provided for three of us, which felt inadequate.

Our stay had its bright spots and challenges. Jay, the staff member, was wonderfully engaging and cheerful, which made our arrival enjoyable. The rustic charm of the grounds was lovely, but we were disappointed by various service issues, including broken appliances and algae-filled waters. Overall, it was a fun trip, but we wished for better management of our experience.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The location was incredible, right on the river with stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere, but the condition of the room left much to be desired. While the grounds are charming and offer some nice amenities like kayaking, the service could be inconsistent and not all issues were addressed satisfactorily. Overall, it has potential if you prioritize the riverfront experience over modern comforts.

Our stay at the resort was mixed. The grounds are quite beautiful and relaxing, making it a lovely place to kick back. However, we encountered several maintenance issues that detracted from our experience, especially with the lack of clean water for use, which was disappointing. Service was a bit of a rollercoaster, with some challenges during check-out that left us feeling unwelcome despite our initial positive impressions.
