A GEM by the River!

river view private parking convenient kettle thoughtful touch

My room was a Superior Double Room River View. The room offered a kettle, coffee, and crème-a thoughtful touch after a long journey. I had private parking right in front of my room. VERY convenient. The walk along the river was great after I checked in.

The room had only one charging port beside the sink. This created a SMALL issue.
