Very happy with this hotel selection. Everything was clean. Staff was polite and helpful. Slightly disappointed that I paid extra for a balcony with riverview because the balcony was covered in cobwebs so we hardly spent any time out there but it was a minor inconvenience. Would stay there again if needed.
