Excellent Riverfront Experience

prime locationdelicious optioncomfortable bedeasy transportation
My stay featured a prime location, offering convenient access to waterfront attractions and eateries. The proximity to the river taxi provided easy transportation. The breakfast buffet presented various delicious options daily. I found the bed very comfortable, contributing to a restful visit, even with the room showing some age.
I noticed that the hotel lacked dedicated parking. This absence required finding alternative solutions.
