Enjoyed being on the river and watching the ducks.

Pros: Location, location location. Right outside the National Park.
Location: Lots of touristy things to do.
Everything was fine, could use a bit of updating. Couldn't figure out how to get the shower head to work though.

Pretty view, but that's about it.

My husband and I are not very particular people, however, for the price we paid for the room, we expected a little more. It's an older hotel, and you can't tell. Sometimes this means a place has character, but in this case, no. We were expecting to have a room that overlooked the creek, but no. The room was clean, but had paint chipping away, curtain rods with the curtains falling off, and it smelled damp and musky. Our view of the creek was through a tiny window at the back of the room. The staff was curtious, but all seemed as if they would rather be anywhere besides there.
