EXCELLENT Stay!

free parkingriverside locationfriendly staff
I appreciated the free secure parking. It really is an advantage, especially in such a busy city! The location was close to the riverside, and it was only a short walk to the attractions. Check-in was quick, and the staff were very friendly (always smiling!).
The shaver socket in the bathroom required a string to operate.

The hotel provides complimentary parking , and it has a secure system. There is a unisex toilet in the foyer, I THINK it's very handy. The location is also quite convenient, as it is near the riverside.

The breakfast included fresh food and a good variety of options. There was waitress service, WHICH ensured prompt attention. The ingredients tasted fresh. That's something I always appreciate.
Rooms

I stayed in a double room, and it provided all I needed for my stay. The room was clean upon arrival. Bed linen and pillows were very old, but were still comfy enough (especially after a long day!).

The room had a very clean and up-to-date decor. Breakfast was delicious with a good variety of choices (I especially liked the toast). The hotel's location allowed me to easily walk into the city center.
I could hear every door slam, hard to fall asleep.
