The location is great. Can view the river behind, great food friendly people working there. I like the way the people working are dressed in German garb. I like the way they have several pools which I used one of the jacuzzis which I needed from walking around so much.

We stayed on June 8, 2013 at the Inn. The location is great. Everything is within walking distance. The rooms are clean, great decor and the view is wonderful.

My fellow masonic brothers had a council and training session here and everything was great. The rooms were clean and the staff were the best. The Saturday night buffet was beyond great. The Inn is large and can handle crowds with no problem. I look forward to returning.

We have stayed at this resort several times in the past three years. However, our last two visits have been extremely disappointing. On both visits, NO restaurants or lounges were open. A sign was posted that the kitchen was ungoing renovation. However, IF you were part of a bus tour group - miraculously breakfast was served in the restaurants for... More

We took our 11 year old Grandson with us and all 3 of us really enjoyed ourselves. The water slides were a big hit as well as the game room. Our room was spacious and very clean. Every member of the staff was friendly and courteous. We will definitely go back soon.
