Super friendly staff with great recommendations. The property feels a bit dated but overall it's kept very nicely and is comfortable and relaxing. Walking distance to all the fun shops and restaurants but far enough away that you can enjoy the peace and quiet. The river area is gorgeous too!

Steven

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff here are excellent—warm, welcoming, and professional. Unfortunately, the room did not meet hygiene standards. We found mold in the shower and hair on the linens, and the floors were so dirty that our feet felt grimey just walking across the carpet. It’s a charming older building, but it requires a much deeper level of cleaning to be comfortable. Hopefully, management can address these maintenance and sanitation issues.
