Comfortable, clean and secure. P

Everything was good, except it was a 2nd building, unattached to the main building, and there was no vending machines. All else was good.

The property was nice enough for one night. It wasn’t actually on the river, the outdoor pool was on a different property. For the price, I was a bit surprised at the overall condition.

Good location and walking distance to shops and the river. Our room was very hot and lowering thermostat didn't help. We had to adjust the fan and vent to get cooled down. The pool is in the center of the rooms and the odor of chlorine was strong and even penetrated our clothing.

Older hotel no view of the water

Older hotel that could use some upgrading. Staff was friendly. Room was relatively clean. I don’t believe there was a view if the water. The hotel is at least a block away from the river. Easy walk to the river and views.

It was an ok hotel. I probably wouldn't stay here again unless we were away from the pool. The room smelled like there was moisture in everything. The pool area noise is easily heard in your room but they did make sure to shut the pool down at 9pm to help with that. The Breakfast was pretty good. The biscuits were amazing! It was just ok cleaned even though the room was recently updated.
