Valley River Inn was an excellent choice in a city with what appears to be few reputable choices. I was a little skeptical when we first arrive, given it the hotel shares a parking lot with a Macy's, but was soon blow away by ultra clean rooms, spacious bathrooms, quiet and safe balconies, the best, more softest beds and the some of the best pillows I have ever slept on. Meanwhile, the pool was a great size for us and our little one and the restaurant, Sweet Waters, was actually really, really good. We ate there like three times over our 3-day stay.
The ONLY reason I cannot give this place a full five stars is because of a couple of things that went awry that I just found to be really careless. First, when we checked in there was a tub of ice cream spilled out and re-frozen in our fridge. That seems a bit off, given the rest of the room was spotless. Second, when we returned after a full day (left at 8am, returned around 5pm), our room was not clean. I have never stayed in a place where I was gone that long and my room wasn't cleaned. This was particularly irritating to us because we had been out all day and we have a toddler, so our room not being clean meant we had to go out AGAIN to get the trash dumped, fresh towels and our beds made. It was a bit ridiculous to not have an active guest's room cleaned by 5pm. The staff was courteous and remedied the situation relatively quickly, but it should have been cleaned when we arrived back.
Otherwise, this was an excellent stay and I highly recommend Valley River Inn!
