We were pleasantly surprised with our family room, heaps of space, lovely view of the river and very soft and comfortable beds! We even had complimentary bottles of refrigerated water ☺️ . We were only stopping over for one night on a road trip but the time we spent there was very relaxing and comfortable 👍😁.

All you need

The hotel was very well located, with a really good porch or outdoor seating area overlooking the river. It was quiet and restful, but close to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our stay. The building is dated, but the rooms and bathrooms have been updated, and it has all you need.
