delicious food, peaceful setting, would stay again

7.0

great location by the river it's so peaceful! We decided to have room service and the food was delicious. The room was good and spacious, had tea and coffee facilities, tv. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was a typical buffet style, they had veggie sausages when we asked which didn't take long to come out.

nothing, i imagine this hotel can get really busy at times though which would make it less peaceful
