I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nice and had a gorgeous river view from the balcony, but they smelled like beer and were quite noisy. The service, while friendly and accommodating, felt a bit off with one staff member not seeming happy in their job. The location was perfect for exploring the town with beautiful river views, but dining options were somewhat inconvenient for families with limited choices. Despite these, the hotel offers a great location and views but could improve in certain areas for a more pleasant stay.
