I had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel, thanks to its fantastic spa, diverse dining options, and very accommodating staff. The rooms were comfortable, but they could use some updates. Although the breakfast was excellent, the dinner buffet didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, a pleasant experience but a few areas could use improvement.

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.
