“The riverfront views from the balcony rooms are a genuine highlight, offering a serene urban panorama. Comfort is clearly a priority here, with well-appointed, clean spaces and exceptionally comfortable beds making for a restful stay. The complimentary breakfast, while perhaps missing a diner staple like biscuits and gravy, is reliably good, and the convenience of an attached parking garage seals the deal for an effortless city visit.”
