The room included a functional air conditioning system. It maintained a consistent and comfortable temperature. The breakfast buffet featured a wide assortment of foods. Fresh pastries and hot dishes were available daily. The fitness center has several cardio machines. I used treadmills and elliptical trainers.

Central Location and River Views
central locationriver viewhelpful staffsound proofing
The hotel is near many shops and restaurants. Parking was easy because the garage is below the hotel. A bike rental station is just outside. My room overlooked the river. The view was lovely. The room had everything needed for my stay. It felt spacious, and everything was clean. The elevators require a room key, which increases security. I found this reassuring. Breakfast had many options. I found the food delicious. The staff were very nice and helpful. Their cute attitude made a difference. I appreciated how quiet my room was. There was no sleep disruption because of good soundproofing. The hotel's location also allows for easy drives on major roads..
The air conditioning in my room was not effective, so the room became quite warm at times.
