The hotel had many bright lights that beamed in my face as I tried to fall asleep, but it was absolutely gorgeous with a great view of the river. The rooms were comfy with beds and pillows, but the noise level was like a Motel 8, making it difficult to sleep.

I felt like I hit the jackpot with this hotel! The rooms were modern, spacious, and beautifully styled, providing all the comfort two people could ask for. The service was top-notch, with extremely accommodating staff, although one meal slip-up was a drawback. The location was a hidden gem by the Arkansas River, offering a beautiful setting and easy access to nearby restaurants. The dining experience was a delight, especially at the quaint midland cafe. Overall, a perfect stay with a few minor flaws to keep it interesting.

Staying at this hotel was a unique experience with well-appointed rooms featuring conjoining balconies overlooking the rapids of the river. The rooms were both simple and elegant, although they tended to be a bit too warm at times. The service was amazing, with staff going out of their way to provide a comfortable stay. The location is also very nice, situated in a cool mountain village with access to various activities. Dining options were good despite the cost, and the facilities were well-maintained.
