Quaint spot
Highly recommend. Beautiful hotel on the water. Quaint town, but not much to do. Good stopping point with places to eat.

Upscale but…
Nice property, liked the riverfront aspect although definitely not “adjacent to golf course”— nothing near by. We were on the first floor although our reservation said “balcony”— drapes needed to be kept close because we had a direct view of parked cars and very bright light in the parking lot. Room very clean, felt upscale. Had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Dinner great although not many choices for non-meat eaters. Lovely wait staff. Breakfast inexpensive but wait staff member had no personality (until time for paying check) and did not enter our order correctly. I would stay again for a one-night stay-over but not for an extended time.

Fridge
The description on hotels.com said no refrigerator in room. But there was one. The staff was very helpful in getting our ice bricks into a freezer.

Extra firm mattress a disappointment
This place is beautiful and the service is excellent and the food in the restaurant is excellent. I have stayed here many times. The only negative is that the bed I stayed in this last time was extra firm and I was sore all night.

Beautiful hotel for a quiet get away. A few restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, but the restaurant within the hotel was also great.
