Disliked: Amenities
Left my earrings and they refused to send them with out me sending a envelope "FedEx only" to have them shipped to me. After spending over $500 for two nights I find it hard to believe they couldn't afford to send them to me. Breakfast was all frozen or prepackaged. Yuck. The towels were scratchy beds okay. Need more blankets. Would not recommend.

Great location
Perfect place for a 2 day mini vacation. Loved the swings down by the river. Our king room was updated and so nice. Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip. We didn’t need to drive anywhere. Our car stayed at the property the entire time and we were able to walk everywhere.

My wife Maria extended out stay by a day so I found a cabin to stay in by Riverbend and, in spite of the rain, turns out it was a pretty good place to stay! Definitely close to town and all of the Oktoberfest stuff - Unfortunately we weren’t there long enough to take advantage of all that.

Stay was good. Interrupted by a lot of rain at no fault to the hotel. Staff seemed a bit short at the front desk with the exception of Jessica. Room appeared clean but found mold on sheets and bathroom door did not close.

Relaxing vacation
We had a very nice visit. Really enjoyed the swings by the river. Beautiful parks and waterfalls close by. It was very relaxing. I actually left prescription pain med in the drawer at checkout. They called as soon as it was found. Very nice and honest staff. Very dog friendly at the hotel and provided a list of many dog friendly businesses.

Great location and price
This was a last minute reservation. Price was great and location was amazing. Pro’s: beautiful beach area, right on the water, walking distance to everything, small and quaint place, shower was large. Con’s: mattress was way too hard for our liking, lights from outside shined into room. Overall, we loved staying here and would definitely stay again!!
