Our room faced the river with beautiful scenery. The bed was super comfortable and it was convenient to have a few dishes, etc in the room. Only the restaurant was open which had a very limited menu. Would have been better to have more choices. Overall though very enjoyable stay

Nice room with decent service
The hodel does NOT provide free Wifi. It costs $9.99 per 24hr and limits 2 devices. The hotel charged me extra $3.64 after I paid in full in advance online, without offering to explain to me what the charge was for. The room had almost no flaw to pick up. The kitchenette had microwave, minifridge, plates, pans, spoons an forks - very convenient.
