Room with river/bridge view was lovely. Stayed one night comfortable bed and quiet. Walking distance to the main area with many choices of restaurants. A nice breakfast at hotel, did not have any other meals at the hotel. Paying for parking was worth the price after along day of driving.

8/10 Very good

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The food we ordered was tasty and well-prepared. The room was a little on the crowded side, but it wasn’t a major issue since we spent most of our time out exploring. One thing to note is that there are no gym facilities, so if fitness is a priority during your stay, you might want to plan accordingly. Overall, this is a good option for friendly service and good food, especially with its central location.

This hotel is well located, close to restaurants and shopping. Staff are always very accommodating. the only downside is that parking is very limited in the area. The hotel only offers valet parking at $40 per night, so, is very expensive.
