Great Location and Riverside Seating

The location was excellent, very central for exploring the area. Outside seating was great on the riverbank. I enjoyed the beautiful view from the room. It was very relaxing. The staff were very friendly too.
The room was quite dusty, especially in the corners. I found a few cobwebs. It requires more thorough cleaning.

i must say the shower was a gamble each time i turned it on. it swung wildly between freezing and scalding. adjusting it proved nearly impossible. also the room decor felt tired. the curtains had noticeable stains and the furniture seemed dated.
