Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very comfortable, but there were some issues with cleanliness that I noticed. The service was lacking in some areas but improved eventually. The location was convenient, but the surrounding area wasn't very appealing. The dining options were limited, and the facilities were just average.
The hotel has large rooms with high ceilings and classic old-style decor, but experienced issues with room readiness and sudden temperature changes during the night. The service was a mix of unfriendly encounters and helpful assistance. The location offers proximity to downtown and the river but suffers from overbooking and understaffing challenges. The dining experience was adequate but lacked variety, and the facilities were not extensively commented on.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location by the river was lovely, but there were disappointments like the freezing room and unreliable TV. The service was a hit or miss – some staff were helpful, while others were not accessible. Dining was decent but could be better for the cost.
