We had a half river, half downtown view and it was fantastic. To see the big blue bridge lit up at night was really a sight to see. The room was comfortable, the breakfast was very good with a lot of options, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. This is not my first stay at this hotel and I came back for these reasons.
