I loved the river view. I would consider myself very picky and I was pleased with the room. Definitely will stay again.

Staff greeted us with smiles. Hotel was going through some remodel in the lobby with a beautiful center of the room fireplace. The balcony views from our room was beautiful and relaxing. It was not in the center of town with all the hustle and bustle which I enjoyed but still very close to everything. This wasn’t a very planned trip just a very last minute mountain ride with overnight stay so we were very satisfied with our choice!

The hotel has some age on it but they have upgraded the exterior and interior to a place where this is a solid value. Right on the river the rooms have excellent views from their balconies. The Room 151 was perfect. Great location to the casino. Pete’s Pancake House best place for breakfast.
