I’m a repeat customer, this is the perfect location offering great views of the river for New Year’s Eve fireworks. This time, we noticed the room was drafty but when you pull the heavy drapes, it definitely keeps the room warm and toasty. There also was no body wash in the shower, luckily we brought our own. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay! Staff was professional and service was great.
