The location was perfect. So quiet. Check in was a breeze. Hidden treasure. So happy I didn't book at Hamptons, Holiday in or a larger franchise. This was perfect. Not fancy. Room was clean, plenty parking, full size fridge, stove, microwave and the river.

The room smell musty. The was a small blood stain on one of the sheets and the sheets needed to be replace in general. A cockroach ran across the nightstand in the morning as we were getting ready to leave. Awful place.

Needs more lounge style pool furniture, paint on walls, ceiling repairs, upgraded furniture in rooms and common area. Loved the openness and river view was excellent. More outdoor seating to enjoy river view.
