I had a decent stay at the hotel with some highlights and low points. The location is absolutely beautiful and offers stunning views right by the water, and the staff was generally friendly and efficient. However, the rooms left a bit to be desired with some signs of wear, and the dining experience had a few hiccups with the food quality. Overall, it's a solid choice but there's definitely room for improvement.

The dining options were decent but could improve; some dishes, like the croissant bun, were over-baked. Overall, it was a good selection, but I think they need to accommodate all income levels better.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic right on the river, and the staff was incredibly friendly and efficient. However, my room in the garden house fell short of my expectations, especially with the bedding and bathroom size. The dining experience was also disappointing, with greasy food that wasn't to my liking. Overall, while there were some amazing aspects, there were enough downsides that I can't give it a perfect score.
