This was a truly pleasant experience (a diamond in the rough). The staff were friendly and helpful. Very nice hotel and room was comfortable. Breakfast was great with many choices of things to eat and drink. The back patio was right over a shallow creek and finally a very nice inside pool.

It was clean, we loved the view (right on the river). Everyone was really nice and the breakfast was excellent. It was a full breakfast, not just pastries. They had eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, toast. Lots of choices to eat. It was in kind of an out of the way place, so it was pretty quiet while we were there.
