cardio machineshot breakfasteasy access
I appreciated that the hotel had a gym with several cardio machines. It had three treadmills and two stationary bikes. The hotel restaurant served delicious meals. Breakfast included both hot and cold options. I found the location convenient with easy access to nearby attractions.
The bathroom was quite small though it served its purpose.

the location is excellent. i found it easy to reach many places on foot. the hotel is located by the river, so i could sit outside. the surroundings were very quiet.
the service was inconsistent. lights near the bed didn't work for two nights, despite me reporting it the first day. breakfast one morning was quite disappointing. the staff seemed short-handed and tables weren't cleared quickly.
