Excellent River Views and Friendly Staff

I stayed in a room overlooking the river and the view was excellent. The room was spacious and well-appointed. The receptionist was wonderful and helped change our rooms so that six friends could be on the same floor. I found this very much appreciated.

Breakfast was lovely and featured a buffet-style setup with a variety of choices. I especially liked the crispy hash browns that were fluffy inside. The sausages were also spot on!
