Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a charming place, with cozy rooms and a lovely fireplace, but the service could be more attentive. The location is pretty convenient, close to downtown and the park, however, the dining options are limited. A decent stay with room for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was simply amazing, right by the river with beautiful balconies overlooking it. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was top-notch. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired. Overall, a great value for the price.
I absolutely loved this hotel! The location is unbeatable, right by the river and within easy walking distance to downtown. The rooms were cozy and clean, the service was outstanding, but the dining options could use a little improvement. Overall, a great value for the money with lovely river views.
