"Had a lovely stay at this hotel. Rooms were clean and well-appointed with a TV and a fridge. Had Keurig machines in room, which was a bonus. The small deck off the room, with a lovely view of the river was really nice - lots of ducks and geese wandering the grass. The bed was comfortable, the shower had good water pressure, and there was a small couch in the room as well. The lobby had 24-hour coffee/tea/cocoa and a cold water dispenser. The breakfast was great - hot and cold options, open early. Finally, the pool and hot tub were great. Pool was clean, warm and had a proper deep end. The hot tub was small, but it worked well. Just a great hotel, nicely situated on the river."

"The property is spacious and has everything you could need and more. The creek was slow moving, with a lovely shallow sandy area for the youngest in the group to get in and out of the water. Don't for get to bring tin foil for the BBQ though!Of note: the local dump is closed on Mondays and you're expected to dispose of your trash."
