The room was a decent size and provided everything needed for a short stay. everything was clean and fresh. Even the towels were soft. the river view from my room was a great bonus and definitely.
i arrived at the hotel. i tried twice to get into my room. then, as i was about to settle in, i realized i was in a room with someone else's belongings. i was concerned about security and unable to relax fully.
