West Winds Motel & Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Jolene was a super owner/operator. Kind, helpful and welcoming. Would G"

Capt. Thomson's Resort

8/10 Good

"A second great stay. There is just no view like it. Facing the river and having the ships pass in front and seeing the lights of the other shore and the castle is just magical. I tried the pool this time and it was nice. Coffee maker in room as well as brewed coffee in lobby was helpful. Food nearby was good. I recommend this hotel."
