Simplicity, design, quality of everything. Free bikes and friendly staff. The hotel is almost perfect.
The only detail missing is A/C. It is very warm in the summer in the best rooms facing the river.

Love the hospitality of the staff- friendly, helpful and professional. I just wish they had the door sign requesting privacy- the cleaning staff opened my door twice while I was in my room.

Comfortable older Hotel. Served our needs. We had the city side room so with the windows open there was noise into the late part of the night.

Check in by an unfriendly, subtly condescending staff member. Room was on the city side on the first floor above the street. Smokers below on the street caused room to smell like cigarette smoke all night. Noisy room with construction sight directly across a narrow street. Small bathroom. Best part of our two night stay was the beverage center on each floor. Would not recommend this hotel.
