This was our 2nd time staying here. Love the balcony that overlooks the Rock River. The room was extremely spacious & has table for eating & playing games. The staff is always friendly & helpful.
Check in was really easy and convenient. You can tell the property is a little older, but our room was massive. We had a gorgeous view of the river right outside our room. I wish we could've gone on a trip on the local paddle boat, but they have scheduled trip days and hours that didn't correspond with our trip.
The sauna was nice and got plenty hot, makes for a specialty that you don't usually find in hotels.
10/10 would stay again. Lovely town too, and great antique stores for any downtime.
This was a quaint, comfortable, and spacious hotel room experience. The room offers a patio space and lovely view of the river. It's quiet and custo.er service was great. I will definitely stay again when traveling in the area.
Probably one of the best smelling and comfortable hotels we have stayed in recently! Quaint but so clean and quiet! Thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was a very nice stay. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Everything was clean and the view was beautiful right next to the river! The property could use some updating but over all it was very nice.
This was a lovely stay, so tranquil. Couldn’t ask for nicer outdoor surroundings. So nice to have the coffee in the main room any time of day, it was a nice little treat at 6pm to go get a little pick me up of coffee and say hi to the other guests. Didn’t make it to the sauna, maybe next time. The whirlpool bath has a tv in the bathroom which is cool. Only complaint would be the smell of cigarette smoke as the smoke does come in from the windows from the smokers on their porches. Otherwise a most pleasant stay.
I wasnt expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised with the hotel. Great location on the river with eating options close by. Nice rooms with great views
Overall it's not a bad place. We got in early and the staff let us check in. We needed to get ready for a wedding so that was really helpful. The air unit was a little noisy, but everything else was fine.
Very nice hotel with two restaurants on site. Waitress and staff super friendly. Country setting five minutes to town. This was our second year staying and will do so in the future. Highly recommend.
