Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property was great with a view over looking the river. Staff was helpful and sincere. Rooms are clean and spacious. I had a superior quadruple with balcony. I enjoyed it vey much. The only downfall is the many steps and the uneven cobble stone pathways that I had to endure carrying and pushing my luggage to get to hotel from train station. Best way is to uber to hotel from train station.
