“River Inn's split”

The Inn on the River is a loved nice stay for most — friendly helpful staff (Kaitlyn was pleasant), peaceful beautiful sitting areas by the creek, a super relaxing indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub, a fantastic included breakfast for most, a just-right location, evening popcorn as a nice surprise, and repeat guests planning a fall return. Caveats though: a severe dissent calls the rooms very outdated and worn down with big street noise nearly all night, and two guests found the breakfast wanting — eggs not even warm and a buffet that did not taste very good.
