Wonderful Stay Near the River
easy accessfriendly staffceiling fan
The location allowed easy access to the train terminal with a short walk. I found the staff friendly and always ready to help. The breakfast included a nice assortment to choose from. The room was quite spacious and I kept it very clean.
The room became hot and uncomfortable during the day. The ceiling fan provided some relief, but was insufficient. Leaving the windows open helped at night, but that increased outside noise

The breakfast had many different foods, perfect to start the day. I tried a local pastry with coffee. It was a good start for the day. It was excellent. The area was maintained super clean.

My room had a fantastic view of the river, so I enjoyed the scenery. The bed was comfy and I slept soundly each night. I was able to open the screened windows. Fresh air always makes it better.
