I've returned to this place time and again, and it never disappoints. The rooms are generously sized and immaculately clean, the beds offer exceptional comfort, and the staff consistently deliver courteous, professional service. Situated in a walkable location to many cafes and restaurants. My upstairs room overlooked the river; which is a great sight to greet you. I highly recommend this property.
