gorgeous roomriver viewdelicious breakfast
The arrival greeting was great! I was upgraded to a grand view room with a balcony. It had views of the entire river. The restaurant provided a delicious breakfast every morning. I loved it. The downstairs bar areas were perfect. I could sit outside with wine and watch the riverbank until late at night.

excellent riverside experience

helpful staffdelicious buffetprivacy issue
the staff demonstrated very nice kindness and attentiveness throughout my stay. the complimentary breakfast buffet featured a wide variety of delicious options. i particularly appreciated the buttery cheese with matured beef ham. reasonable prices are available for very good wines.
my room overlooked a walkway. this resulted in a lack of privacy if i opened the curtains to see the view.
