I just had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully designed, and I could very quickly imagine myself relaxing in them during my next visit. However, the windows did let in some noise, so it might be better to choose a quieter option. The service was top-notch though, with courteous staff making sure my stay was comfortable. The location couldn't have been more perfect, right across from the river and just a block or two from the town, making it super convenient for exploring. The dining experience was absolutely delightful, especially in the morning overlooking the water. Despite some minor drawbacks, overall, it was a fantastic experience.
