The hotel has a great location right on the river. The downtown area is also nearby. The breakfast offered a great variety. It was perfect to start the day.
Room cleanliness was subpar. The room was smelly. I noticed mold in the shower curtain. the pillows were VERY poor in quality. I had to ask for replacements.

old gym equipment worn converter
The air conditioning struggled to keep up with the summer heat, honestly (i swear it was set to 'arctic' but felt more like 'mildly breezy'). also, i found the gym equipment a bit outdated. Some of the machines looked like they were relics from a previous decade. i also faced some issues with the archaic converter that the hotel offered, it was a bit worn out.
