Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers excellent views of the river from the separate suites, though room tidiness could be improved. The location by the riverside park is perfect for pets and runners, just a short walk from downtown. The dining experience was a mix of outstanding mussels and some disappointment on peak days. Overall, a great option with a few areas for enhancement.
I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. The rooms were clean and very inviting, which was nice enough but a bit overcrowded with furniture of the wrong kind. On the bright side, the room was fitted with bathrobes, adding a touch of luxury to the stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms and a staff that was friendly and helpful. However, the rooms were a bit small, and the cleaning service was inconsistent. The location was convenient for exploring downtown but had some strange surroundings.
