“What stands out is the location right on the Dolores River, where guests can relax on a patio overlooking the water or stroll along the river walk; the owner is very friendly and helpful. While some might find it a bit dated, I think its charm and proximity to nature are hard to overlook. For a relaxed and characterful stay, this could be ideal.”
