If you’re thinking of visiting the area and don’t stay at this place, you’re doing a disservice to yourself. Great view of the river and of chimney rock. Good restaurants and stores within walking distance too. Stay here, you will not be disappointed.

Check- in was very quick and easy. The room overlooked the river, and it was a beautiful, peaceful view.
