Okay stay with some drawbacks.

river breakfast polite staff pool spot shower curtain boat traffic overall experience
The breakfast by the river was a great experience and a nice way to start my day. The staff were very polite, and they were always ready to assist. The pool was a good spot. I appreciated that.
There were some issues! The room lacked a shower curtain, so the bathroom floor got wet. The boat traffic was loud, especially at night. The overall experience fell short of my expectations. I think it could have been better.
