Realized at check-in that we had the wrong room booked. Easily upgraded at a reasonable price. Washer and dryer worked well. Staff very friendly and helpful. Small deck great for morning coffee. Located on the river with a nice walking path.

Would have given a perfect score except for the terrible water pressure in the shower. Staff were excellent, restaurant was excellent in food and service, the rooms and beds were very comfortable. All round a great place to stay.
