Great family vacation!

Great family vacation! The grandkids loved the hotel and location. There is so much to do in the area and the kids favorite day was the hotel day. Perfect for a quick weekend getaway or a longer stay. We have been multiple times over the past 5 years and will be planning our next trip soon.

Beautiful river view

Overall, our stay was very nice. The deck overlooking the river provided much needed relaxation. The hotel is close to everything we wanted to do, plus some. Our only complaint is the beds are not very comfortable. We found them to be on the hard side.
