I stayed in a Superior Double Room River View. I enjoyed the river view. Our room was cleaned every day, even without requesting it. The staff offered a free ride to the train station, very helpful. I was travelling with my parents.

The receptionist did not seem very helpful . I had to pay a deposit just to use an umbrella! The location was not quite as close as expected. It was a 2 km walk to the beach.
