We appreciated the friendly check in, the comfortable room, and the breakfast. One weird thing in the room is the lack of outlets on one side if the bed and also at the desk area. Otherwise, no complaints and we will happily stay here again.

Has an issue with booking this hotel with hotels.com, a bit confused with the down payment for the booking and later learned the booking fees wasn't processed. Other than that, this hotel is at the great location, next to the river and walking distance to supermarket and main street. The room is good size, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great with 24/7 coffee machine.
