The room was nice but poorly lit. For instance, the desk area had no lighting above or near it, made it almost impossible to work there. The staff were pleasant, but maybe not the most professional that I've experienced. That means that many times they were gathered at the reception area (reception staff, cleaning staff etc) laughing and joking with each other. That's ok, but maybe in the staff area, not in reception! Also, we noticed somebody who appeared to work, or help at the hotel ask about providing grooming services for our dog, again, not overly professional. Finally, it was snowing heavily and yet no snow had been cleared. Even at the entrance to the busy main road where modest shoveling would have helped a lot. We have an AWD SUV and got stuck by one exit and had to get it out of that situation to try the entrance, as an exit. Not ideal and I thought for what the hotel costs these points should be addressed.

I was a bit worried as I pulled up to this hotel situated on a main road. Once you enter this beautifully decorated hotel, you know that your stay is going to be great! The room was so clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was just as lovely. The front desk staff is so friendly, and the sitting room is so peaceful and has a terrific vibe. Just be in the know that one side of the hotel, although it has a lovely river view, it also faces a railroad track, so if you aren’t one who can handle the noise associated with a train passing by, you will want to ask to be in a room that faces the main road. If I ever have a need to come back to this area, I will absolutely look to book another stay at this hotel.
