Excellent Riverfront Stay

seasonal desserts industrial espresso machine fresh air seasonal meals
The breakfast had a wide variety, with seasonal choices that were very nice. I ate dinner once and I enjoyed the seasonal meals offered then too. The bar features a great industrial espresso machine. I'm happy I could open the window in my room for some fresh air. This isn't possible in all hotels!
The hotel staff seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. Some information given was not always consistent.
