lovely stay near the river!

spacious family roomclean family roomconvenient locationfriendly staff
We booked a family room. it was spacious and clean! it had everything we needed for our three nights near the river. the location is great. Just off the main street, perfect for exploring. the staff were friendly. we had a welcome glass of port on arrival! they were always on hand if we needed something.
One very tiny thing. we had three rooms. one of them had a warped floor. it made the door hard to open. The management knew but didn't offer a discount.

Amazing Stay Near Riverfront!

breakfast ratesriver bankhelpful staffquieter lane
Breakfast rocked! Rates were amazing. I just stepped out and hit the river bank, easy walk to other areas. Carla at the front desk killed it answering my questions. It is a real gem right on the waterfront but in a quieter lane. It was very cool.
The curtain did not blocked light at all. I found this really bad. Everything else was great!

Amazing Location and Comfortable Rooms!

modern stylegood lightingluggage rackmissing hooks
I loved that the hotel had recent updates and a really modern style. The room had good bathroom lighting for shaving plus counter space for toiletries. There was lots of closet space for clothes, a luggage rack, and two couches! The mattress seemed thin initially, but it was surprisingly comfortable.
The hotel did not have hooks for towels or robes after using the bathtub or the walk-in shower.
