I loved that there was GOOD ham on the breakfast buffet! I will definitely stay here again, not just because of the ham, but because it was a nice place to stay. There must be a good manager, the staff all seemed to work hard while still being personable.

Easy access right off the interstate with plenty of parking and a great view of the river. Our room was not the cleanest and was a non smoking room that smelled of cigarettes on arrival. It was fine for one night last minute but a bit pricey given the condition of the room. Breakfast in the morning was adequate.
