Everything about the property, the views and staff were perfect. The river was stunning and dozens of Canada geese swimming down it made it magical. The drive around the are was equally stunning and the leaves were changing colors which topped everything off. Would definitely stay again.

The property was clean and nice. Two minor issues- there was a beeping sound from an adjacent utility closet which drive my wife nuts and the curtains could be better for keepi g out the light. Other than these, a very nice, non chain hotel.
