Property looked really great - omitted from pictures non-rover view, which I’m glad we did NOT get, but also omitted from river view the train tracks right next to the river… No nature part to actually enjoy the rover and …all in all - a may have been holiday in in the middle of nowhere. Also there was a surprise $100 pet fee where superior properties charge $50 or nothing.

We booked this hotel to attend an engagement party and it was the perfect place. There aren’t a lot of good options in this area. The Watershed was excellent. We’ll be back in September for the wedding.

Staff is amazing. They lied about the trains before I booked I asked 3 times. I booked to get away from trains I was on the tracks you hear it. If they were honest I would have booked elsewhere. Staff is the best anywhere.
