“What stands out here is the peaceful riverside setting, even if the pool itself is surprisingly sunless. Rooms, while spacious, could use refreshing, but the lush gardens offer a real escape, and the restaurant pleasantly surprised with its well-timed dishes. I think that the hotel's strength lies in its potential for riverside relaxation, though some aspects need updating to truly shine.”
