Good place to stay!
We were looking for something on the River and we found it in this hotel. Room was clean and looked like it had been recently updated. Balcony view was perfect. Very good pricing for the accommodation.

Good breakfast.
Excellent price for off season stay. Comfortable but did not realize at booking it was an outside entrance. Good breakfast choices.

Nice hotel but noisy
Older hotel but in decent shape. The room was very large and breakfast was good. Only complaint was we could hear everything during the might. Elevator was very noisy, we were two rooms away.
