Good for the price!!!
The room is s not sound-proof. The tub floor was cracked and there is black mold overhead. Theres a large sunken spot in front of the vanity...room 273. The floors are very dark laminate; no carpet, which is good. Lighter laminate would give some light to the very dark room. Room was quiet large. Lamps have to be plugged and unplugged to turn on and off because the screw-on button is missing. There was no place to hang dress shirts or dresses with a hanger. Place was convenient and staff was very friendly. Easily accessible. The stream outside our room was nice with the deck.

Building is older and very dated, dust could be seen around table legs and furniture feet on the carpet, the bath vent was almost completely stopped up with lint and dust. The elevator smelled of raw bleach heavily all weekend. The river was a nice touch off the balcony.

The room had a balcony with a pretty view of a river. The room is nice and clean. Check in staff very friendly. Check out staff not so friendly. Parking is horrible. Continental breakfast was awful. Price was good for off season.

Short but nice stay
The staff is so nice there! It was a short stay for us but comfy and cozy. The TV remote would not work and the lighting was dim but overall pretty safe with minimal issues

The check in area is in a separate building, then you need to drive down the hill to get to your rooms. Rooms were okay, pretty dark even with the lights on. You have to buy firewood for the fireplace in your room, breakfast is served in a different building as well. Outside pool and hot tub looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in sometime. Family would have definately used the hot tub if it was cleaned.

Disappointed overall
I initially booked this room because the reviews talked about how great the breakfast was. I was real disappointed to find that all they had was cereal and rubbery pancakes. I could have saved myself the money a booked a place that did not offer free breakfast. The comforter smelled like a wet dog, had laid on it, and the front door had a gap to the floor allowing cold air to seep through making it very difficult to keep the room at a balanced temp.
The hotel, however, had a nice flowing river in the back, quiet location, and not far of a walk to downtown.

I’ve had better.
Faucet in bathroom dripped. Only good thing about that was when the furnace kicked in it sounded like a freight train so it drowned the sound of the dripping out. Our house keeping did not make bed on second night. Not sure if that was because we left no tip in provided envelope after first night. Fireplace was nice but firewood was expensive at the hotel.

Fire wood should be included
Room was clean and had been remodeled. The bed was a little uncomfortable and hard, would have been nice to have a pillow top mattress. If there is a fireplace in the room I think 1 bundle of wood should be included with the rate. I paid $98 a night and had to purchase fire wood. Or you should get a bundle for however many nights you are staying. Otherwise it wasn’t bad.

An OK Resort
Although breakfast was ok for my husband I couldn’t eat anything because I am gluten free. I wish they had provided some options.
