We had a great overnight stay at this hotel, which offered awesome features like a large heated pool and spacious apartments. The staff was friendly, making check-in a breeze, and the area around the hotel was lovely with good shops and dining options. However, the uncomfortable couches in our apartment and noise from neighboring units during the night detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience.

We had a wonderful family holiday here, enjoying the great pool and helpful staff in a stunning location. While the apartments were comfortable and had lovely views, a few issues like the under-stocked kitchen and some complaints about barbecue smoke could use addressing. Overall, it's a lovely spot for families, but some management improvements are definitely needed.

The hotel has a fantastic position overlooking the river, which is its biggest highlight. The spacious room was well-furnished, but I faced issues with pricing and had to negotiate for a better rate. The noise level from other guests was quite bothersome, impacting overall comfort. While the room was clean, it desperately needs upgrades to enhance the experience.
