The location of this hotel is simply incredible! It is right on the river. We had a room facing the river with a wall of windows and the views are breathtaking. We also had lunch and drinks outside at their bar and loved it. The staff was also very helpful and arranged our transportation from and back to the airport.

We loved everything about our stay. The location is unbeatable, and the entire property is spotless. Our one-bedroom suite was huge, immaculate, and filled with natural light — plus it was incredibly quiet, which made it easy to relax. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept so well. Most importantly, the hotel staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful — they really went above and beyond to make our visit smooth and enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was another bonus. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
