solid riverside stay

large windowcoffee selectionspacious bathroomhair dryer

My room on the 7th floor featured a large window overlooking the river! it provided coffee, tea, and water, though a greater variety would have been nice. the bathroom was spacious. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and a hairdryer were available.

checking in was my least favorite part. i arrived back with very tired kids from exploring all day at 14:40 and was told my room wasn't ready and to come back at 3pm! there were bags everywhere behind reception, so it wasn't just me.
