We opted for a nicer king-bed room, and it was so worth it. We were right by the river with a lovely deck where we could sit and enjoy our morning coffee. Clean and comfortable room -- it was great.

Don't go by first impressions as when we parked our motorcycles in front we thought "Uh Oh!!!" Once in our room it was a different story ... Very charming and rustic with a western theme. The bed was fantastic and I got a great nights sleep. The room was spacious and had chairs and tables for our gear. One drawback is ashtrays on tables just outside each room. If you smoke, you'll love this. If you don't, it may be a problem as the smell of cigarette smoke can linger long after the smoker has departed. We were able to park our motorcycles in the back lot and they were safe. We dined nearby at Ewing's and had the best meal of the entire trip there. Hint ... if you like Mac and Cheese, try the Truffle pasta. It was most excellent. And yes ... I would definitely stay here again.
