Satisfactory Stay Near the River

convenient locationshort walkstandard breakfastsmall sinkcramped showerabsent owner
The location proved convenient to the city center. It was a short walk. The view from my room faced the river. Breakfast included croissants, cereal, and fruit. I found this standard continental breakfast quite nice.
The sink was quite small. It was located outside the bathroom. I noticed the shower facilities seemed a bit cramped. The owner was not often seen after check-in.

river ness retreat!

riverside locationuseful parkingamazing viewsmall space
i totally loved the riverside location and parking on the hotel was super useful for me. the house sat right next to the river and a short walk got me to the city center super quick. the view from my room was amazing, so vibrant and pretty.
the room felt a little small and the shower worked okay. i think a slightly larger space would really enhance the stay. but for a short trip, it was manageable.

excellent stay near the river

riverside locationquiet locationhuman management
the location near the river was a huge plus. it was also an easy walk to infirmary bridge so i could easily access the other side of the river by foot. the hotel was immaculately presented in a quiet riverside location. i found cafes and restaurants nearby.
The shower facilities were somewhat small. That's a very minor detail though.
