We were on a family trip, with 3 different rooms. I called and spoke with Adon, who was wonderful in arranging for our rooms to be close to each other. Very helpful.

Great location just 5 minutes from the park entrance. Our room had a patio facing the river which was a nice way to just enjoy a morning before heading out. The pizza place was pretty good, too.

VERY (!) Disappointed,
We are both elderly, an so the 2nd floor room wouldn't have been bad, except the elevator didn't work! I was given a 1st floor room, with 2 spas right outside our bedroom window! No "riverview" at all. The reading lamp didn't have and on/off switch, so it had to be unplugged to turn it off. The plug was behind the sofa, which had dust bunnies from the 70's! Dead cockroaches under the bed and in the bathroom. There was 1 washcloth in the bathroom. We booked two nights, but didn't stay the second night.
