Clean, large, modern, very comfortable room with river views and a well-equiped kitchen. Full size fridge. Walk-in shower. Staff were excellent. Free, secure parking under the building; although only a limited number of spots. Great pool and gym. Easy walk to Coles. Handy to restaurants on the river front. Well worth the average price of $300/night on our 6 night stay during June.
