Acceptable Stay Near the River

convenient location breakfast variety efficient staff small room limited space dated decor

The location was convenient as it was close to the city center. I found the breakfast to be quite good with a variety of options. The staff proved to be friendly and efficient during my brief interactions with them.

I found the room to be a bit small for two people. There was limited space for luggage, difficult to move around. I also noticed the hotel seemed a bit dated. I expected more from a 4-star hotel.

Our room was quite small for two people. Space for suitcases was barely available. The hotel claims to be 4 stars. but the features did not meet that category. I think they need to do better with room sizes.

The riverside location made it easy to access the city center! my room was clean with fluffy towels and plentiful hot water. the bar was very well stocked. I found my favorite scotch there.

The birthday party created quite a disturbance. The music was loud until nearly midnight.
