Great spot, lovely views and right by the river. The room in the new block was trendy and immaculate. An easy cable car ride to the heart of town was just a 1 minute walk from the door.

No self service laundry. Beautiful and convenient location. Phenomenal breakfast. Sink in the room. No AC. One fan that could not reach everyone. Showers were not segregated by gender. No shelves in the room. Friendly staff. I would stay there again. Please ban smoking anywhere on property. Smoke drifts, even when done on patio
