Riverside Retreat, A Stellar Stay!

friendly staffspacious roomresort feel

The staff was friendly and gave clear directions for parking. I also appreciated the easy route to the breakfast area. My room was spacious. The bathroom was large with good lighting. I found the grounds pretty. It really did feel like a resort. I was able to watch horses and storks from my balcony (so cool!).

The television in my room was a little small.

Rooms

My room offered two separate sinks plus a rainfall shower. This made mornings much easier. Fresh towels were provided daily, and the linens felt clean and of high quality. The bed was firm, which i like a lot.
