I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were always cleaned daily, with towels changed daily and the bed made every day. Having a fridge and microwave in the room was very convenient. The service exceeded our expectations of hospitality, especially from the housekeeping staff. The location was superb, in a great area next to the river, close to restaurants, and right on the marina. However, the dining options were a bit limited, but the crisps were a nice touch.
