this hotel location near the river captivated me. the riverside breakfast area included probably the nicest view. our breakfast selection featured a great variety and tasted yum. Piaow helped us with everything.
our room was serviced late. even when i put the make up room sign out every morning, this still happened. i booked a massage but there is no spa at the hotel. they use a lounger just off the lobby, not a massage table, so i do not suggest guests use this service.
