The hotel is excellently situated near the spectacular High Force waterfall, offering breathtaking views down to the river. While the common areas may show signs of wear, the overall location is truly remarkable. The service is top-notch with convenient laundry facilities. The dining experience includes tasty hot dogs.
I loved the hotel's location right by the river in a beautiful area with outstanding views. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was top-notch. Despite the tired common areas, being outside on the field was a refreshing experience. However, dining options were limited, and the price seemed a bit high for the value provided.
