Should make it know that the hot tub is 18 before you check-in. Could be a deal breaker for some families. Also, breakfast offerings were disappointing. No fruit or protein options. Definitely not a reason not to stay here or come back. Lastly, no TV options were annoying, but understandable due to previous storm. These are just the negatives, there were a lot of positives. We will definitely come back!

This is a wonderful lodge resort within walking distance of downtown. It’s quiet, safe, family-oriented, and the staff are all so nice and friendly. We had a great three night stay in one of the lower king condos and really enjoyed the river flowing through the property.
