Great clean room with comfortable furnishings. The mountain stream outside your room is the best part. Nice staff! I've been here many times and always enjoyed it. Off-season is the best time, no crowds and great rates.

I feel that 8am is a bit too early to be receiving text messages and emails about check out. Especially when we did not arrive to the hotel until after 9pm and checkout was at 11am.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything looked clean and well taken care of. Room was spacious and clean with clean towels and sheets. Walls were a little thin. The view of the river was gorgeous even in January.

It was a clean, comfortable room in a good walkable location. My only complaint was to check hot water before you shower because sometimes hot sometimes barely warm depending on how many guest were showering at the moment.
