"Okay I thought this place was fake when I looked it up the prices were pretty reasonable and the location was perfection so I went there for my birthday weekend booked a room on the third floor was hoping for a riverfront view but end up getting a mirena side view which was still pretty good view I also uploaded a video to show you how beautiful the location is π 2 good restaurants on the island but if you stay at the hotel you should definitely eat at the restaurant there called the Crow's Nest that Cod w/the Fettuccine is a mustπ€€"
