The room included a comfortable bed and soft bedding. I had a river view from my room. The check-in process was easy and straightforward. Breakfast offered plenty of choice of food and drinks.

Parking was limited when the hotel was full. Some parking spaces were quite tight to maneuver into. I noticed the hotel seemed a bit understaffed. The windows were also hard to open.
