Testimonials

On 8/18/2026 Deb Gard had this to say:
We had a girls weekend and stayed here in the Family Room. It was so nice to a large sofa, loveseat with a king bed in a large room and a separate queen room. We loved the balcony overlooking the Rock River as well. It was very clean and the staff was very nice. The hotel is centrally located to many of the area attractions and the paddlewheel boat is right there. Highly recommended and we will be back!
