Acceptable stay with some drawbacks
river viewsbreakfast optionsspacious roomfaulty air conditioningdirty poolold hotel
the river views were lovely. it provided a picturesque backdrop to my stay. the breakfast had a good range of options, i found it satisfying. my room had a king size bed and a large couch, this was quite spacious.
the air conditioning didn't work properly, it made sleeping difficult. the pool looked dirty on occasions, this impacted my experience. the hotel seemed a bit old, this was like it needed attention.
