riverside retreat

convenient access dog-friendly staff fresh ingredients ample parking
The location offered convenient access to transportation. The park and ride for the city was next door and the airport bus stop was nearby. i liked that the hotel was dog-friendly and the staff were very cute to my pet. the breakfast was delicious. I especially enjoyed the fresh, locally sourced ingredients. i was pleased with the ample parking available on site. It made arrival and departure stress-free.
i noticed that the motion detector lights in the landing took a little while to activate, it made navigating the corridor at night slightly inconvenient

Adequate stay near the river

river access friendly staff free parking late breakfast slamming doors disturbed sleep
The hotel has easy access for walks along the river. The staff were friendly. Parking was free and convenient. My room was clean and well equipped.
The breakfast start time at 8 am can be difficult. This might not suit those needing an earlier start. The hotel room doors slammed loudly as other guests passed. I found this disturbed my sleep.
