Amazing property next to a river. Great staff and service. A bummer that theyre in the flight path of planes taking off from the airport but the cotages are quiet, safe, clean and private.
Love the individual cabins with a patio. The sidewalks made it easy to see the property and walk to restaurant. The food was good. Everyone was very friendly.
The hotel room we received was infested with bed bugs. My wife got severe bed bugs bites all over her body. We have never had such an experience at any hotel in the past.
And bed bugs wasn't the only problem in our room. Our bathroom was filled with bees (10 bees) all throughout our stay. Although we didn't get a bee bite, that could have been very dangerous for us.
We have detailed images about both of our issues but it seems like we cannot attach images to Expedia reviews these days?
I appreciate the river surrounding very much. Very clean room and very courteous staff, including the food service staff.

Staff was excellent. We had some transportation issues and they happily worked will us to resolve the issue. Property is on the older side but the individual cabins were good.
