"The hot tub was very hot and clean. As well as the pool. Its indoor, too. The staff was very friendly and breakfast was hot and good every morning. The room was clean and it is a no smoking facility. The view was awesome and the hotel area was clean and secluded. And an awesome view of mountain rock face. Right at the train tracks but you don't hear the train except in the middle of the day. There is a fire pit and rocking chairs and grills. There is a whole stretch by the river that kids can play in and another firepit and rock seats by the river. "
"The staff was wonderful. The breakfast was cereal milk coffe muffins but not eggs bacon or waffles available. There was fruit, juice milk but nothing hot. Everything was great except the breakfast. Clean rooms also. I would stay there again but eat breakfast at Melba’s. "
"Very clean room, great view of the river. Parking is right in front of your room. It’s very old but for one night you can’t beat the price. Bed and pillows were very comfy."
"The staff were very friendly and accommodating! Clean room and comfortable bed! The only cons, that were noticed, was the sink in our bathroom was very slow to drain and the bathroom door did not remain closed. Would definitely stay here again if we visit this area."
