The property as a whole is in need of updating. The rooms are ok but certainly in line with room rates. The location of the property is great - on the river. The patios and decks overlooking the river and scenery are great but again in need of updating. The restaurant was closed . There was no coffee pot in rooms and none available at the front desk. When finally made no decaf was offer. No breakfast offered, not even a packaged roll. Again this is a common courtesy with most other comparable properties.The lobby and halls reeked of cigarette smoke which is a complete turn off to customers. The person at front desk did not greet people coming and going. There was a paddle wheel boat docked at the property which is nice. All in all, it is one of a few overnight facilities in Oregon, IL but is in need of updating and renovating.

Everything was excellent and clean. Only issue was the coffee or should I say hot brown water! Didnt taste like coffee at all not even a little hint of coffee. And rooms dont have coffee pots in them so you can't brew your own.

Beautiful setting, extremely quiet, no frills but very tidy, smelled clean, everything worked, great shower. Quite cozy (i.e., small) room, but o.k. for a single overnight. Only complaint was a very squeaky spot in the floor. Safety plus: fire sprinklers in the room as well as in the halls and stairs. Would be pleased to stay there again.
