SUPER river view!
great location friendly staff blackout curtains own brands
The location worked WELL! I was able to walk to many attractions (though I love walking, anyway). The staff was friendly and helpful as well. The blackout curtains in my room REALLY blocked light, important to me. I appreciate that the hotel had its own wine brands available.
The bathroom had some MOLD in the shower area, I didn't like that. It really needs some attention.

The hotel features parking on the premises for added convenience. There is also a river view, offering a pretty aspect from various points within the hotel. These amenities enhanced my stay, though I didn't use all of them.

My twin room included a river view, it was SO worth it. The room offered ample space and modern decor, though it needed a little love. I was glad the blackout curtains were very effective for sleep.
