Guest Tips & Highlights
It is located right on the river a beautiful walk. Does a restaurant right next-door, which is awesome.
Location was convenient to excellent restaurants. View of the river from our room was lovely. Vibe was modern. I’m 62, and I imagine that their target demographic is younger and more hip than I am, but I felt welcomed and was very comfortable during my stay.
