While our room was very, very small and the only window looked out on the indoor elevator shaft, the location of the hotel was wonderful. Right on the river with several restaurants nearby, including one that is part of the hotel. The breakfast was very good. We asked for another room but was told there was only one left and it was even smaller and that the reason we got the room we did was because it was a discounted room. However, we were going on a river cruise and we could easily get a taxi to the dock.
