A lovely hotel on the river front, within walking distance of shops, bars & restaurants. The staff went above & beyond to help us. We had a balcony room overlooking the street, it was super quiet. The breakfast was good. The Mares bistro downstairs is good & guests get 15% discount on food. We will return.

Lovely hotel situated over the road and overlooking the river. The hotel is an older building and the only problem I had was the compact bathroom. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The hotel was kept spotlessly clean and the room serviced daily. Breakfast was continental style with cereals, fruit, pastries,meat, cheese,eggs and bacon.

While the staff was friendly and helpful, the hotel is old and tired. Whatever charm it might have once had has not been refreshed. The free parking is on a luck basis.
