charming stay near the river

river location clean room comfortable bed great sleep
the location was picturesque! the river running alongside the hotel added a special touch, and the outdoor eating area looked inviting though i didn't get to use it. i found my room to be spotlessly clean. the bed was comfortable and ensured a great night's sleep.
The shower was not as warm as i would have liked. It was only lukewarm.
