great locationclean room
The location is great as it is only a five-minute walk to the ovo hydro. Car parking is also available. the rooms were furnished nicely and spotlessly clean, though the bathroom could have been a bit better. i could see the river from my room. The views were amazing!
The tv channel setup was a bit clumsy. I did not find any tv guide information available.

The breakfast choice was acceptable with a spacious dining area.
I was disappointed to find only one towel in the room despite our reservation for two guests. The spare towels were hidden in the cupboard, a detail i found rather odd. This oversight should be addressed.
