Staff were friendly and helpful. Great room on the ground floor with outside pool access. I had an issue with the door lock - it was addressed and fixed immediately. The outside pool is not heated - I didn’t care, but some people might. Breakfast was included and had extensive choices. The hotel is a very short walk (along the river side) to the town center. Well located, well maintained and friendly staff
