Not worth the money
Was very clean, and convenient to downtown, but no extras at all, had to go to the grocery store to get water, was very noisy, no cups in the bathroom, no chairs on the balcony….for the price we paid, we expected a lot more

We paid for a premium queen with a river view and our room only faced the river on 1.5 sides. We had a great view of the parking lot and one of the guest fire pits though. If you are looking for a hotel in walking distance to town, this will work for you. Just be mindful that if you pay for a premium room you might get an standard view that they are pawning off as premium so they can charge more. Also, don't expect room service. In the 3 nights we were there we didn't receive any room service. Overall, it suited our needs for our vacation but we were not enamored and felt we were ripped off when we saw our room.

Property is in a great location and is walkable to dining and shopping. There is a grocery store across the street also. Rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. The only complaint is that our room was not ready until 4:00, an hour past checkin time.

The property was well maintained the grounds were beautiful and our room was clean with an amazing view of the river and foliage. The only think they don’t have is coffee in the morning but there’s a Cumberland farms pretty close.

A very nice place that fell a little short.
The people working there were wonderful, the location and views were exceptional. We expected more amenities for the price we paid. For example, upon arrival we were informed that they don’t offer their guests housekeeping services! We recognize that times are hard and help is hard to find. We don’t need to be waited on, but we paid more than twice what we usually pay for a room so we we’re expecting more.

Bathroom was old fashioned. Needed updating. I’d seen pretty rooms online but ours was only so-so and rather small. Carpet was stained and bathroom needed a once over. Smashed mosquito on wall. Very quiet. Lovely stream behind bldg.

Great views by the river and nice firepits at night. Only two towels, needed better luggage stands and cheap toilet paper. Nice property that could have been a bit better.

This is a lovely hotel in the perfect location. The staff are kind and so obliging. This hotel is not grand and luxurious. It is clean, very spacious, warm, comfortable and in the perfect location with a wonderful view. It is very well priced. I would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again.

No food options on site. The area we stayed seemed to be newer construction that was cheaply completed (low end construction materials). The fan in our bathroom did not work or maybe there was no fan.
