The food was very good -- some fun, unique menu items. The staff was friendly & helpful. The only reason the couple of areas that I gave fours were that the room was on the small side, and there was some construction going on along the river -- not the hotel's fault, obviously -- that blocked the view of the river and made the area just in front look a bit industrial. Again, not their fault; just wanted to leave a heads-up that until construction is complete, the area around the property won't be as charming as I assume is usual. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f40923b1-5e44-4a79-80c2-fce14c572d15-1754156235886.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/629e7f6b-f4a1-4647-913c-cff8af381793-1754156235823.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/63f62794-9090-45ac-ae49-396104ddfc28-1754156234311.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sharon Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh 13 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The view from the balcony was terrific, the bed was big and the room was spacious and clean.
