Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was decent, with clean and comfortable rooms, but noise from neighbors was a nuisance. The service was generally pleasant and helpful. The location was convenient for accessing local venues, but noise from neighboring rooms was a drawback. The dining experience offered a variety of options but lacked organization. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
This hotel was a mixed experience for me. On one hand, the rooms offered a lovely view of the city and bridge, plus free drinks, but the bed was uncomfortable and the air conditioner was noisy. The decor felt outdated, which was a letdown.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offered a beautiful view of the river and bridge, but they were a bit small and had some unusual stains on the carpet and ceiling. The service was excellent, with accommodating staff who kept everything running smoothly. The location was convenient, with nearby bars and restaurants, but the dining experience didn't meet my expectations. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
