Would go there again

The rooms very clean and the beds are super comfortable. Awesome view. It also seems to be very well insulated as one could barely hear outside noises. The kids had fun in the pool
Marlen, 1-night trip

Nice enough room for the price and location. Had a nice view of the river and sunset. Air conditioner was a bit loud but at least it worked. Compared to other hotels in the area this was the cream of the crop.

A pleasant surprise. Quiet room with fun decor. Breakfast is just a bite but enough to get you back o the road. Helpful staff. Hotel is right beside the City's view point so aptly named.

Updated motel

Friendly staff and a clean room in an updated motel. Not much to see out the window - grassy hill, but it was fine for a one night stay. The bed was ok, but seemed to have a plastic mattress cover which gave it a bit of a stiff feeling.The breakfast to go was convenient.
