My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. While the location requires a bit of a walk to reach the city center, the scenic paths along the river made it pleasant. The rooms were comfortable and clean but had a slightly dated decor. I really appreciated the excellent food and quick room service. However, the breakfast could use a bit more variety. All in all, it was a good experience with solid amenities.
