Enjoyed the visit and will use it again.

Pros: The location was good. You can walk by the river to the city or through the main road. The breakfast was nice and also a few choices. The staff were nice. The place was clean. The pool table entertained the whole family. Nice outdoor area.

Cons: There was no WiFi in the room. The bulb in the porch was not working despite being reported. There didn’t seem to be lounging area if you’re not using the restaurant/bar.
