Wonderful Stay with River Views
delicious food perfect location safe feeling helpful doormen
The restaurant served a good breakfast sandwich and other delicious food. The hotel is in a perfect location near the river. The staff was courteous and professional. I always not sketchy at all. The doormen were helpful with directions and luggage.
The air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool enough during the afternoon.
Facilities
8/10
The hotel provides high-speed WiFi suitable for work. There is not a breakfast buffet available. Guests can order from a menu with limited choices. The shower features a rainfall showerhead, but lacks a handheld option.

Acceptable stay. Issues noted
impractical bathroom motion activated lights
the location was acceptable.
The bathroom design was impractical. the motion-activated lights turned off while i was showering. This became irritating. also, i found the water took too long to heat up.
