Superb Stay by the River
clean room efficient check-in great bar staff
Check-in was efficient. The bar staff were great.. the rooms are very well-appointed and clean. I especially enjoyed the superb breakfast. Nothing looked to be too much trouble for the staff.
The restaurant food was good, but some main course items were unavailable and service was slow. We had to ask for our main courses in the end. Car parking gets full during lunch and dinner service.
