The room was very warm, but the staff provided us with summer blanket and a fan which truly helped get us through the night. The staff was very helpful with directions to tram, restaurants provided a dry bag for floating down the river ride, which was exceptionally fun

Great location, very clean, great internet access, very friendly and accommodating staff. A little noisy due to the tram and although they state it has air conditioning, it's in the pipes in the walls, so the room does not get cool if it's hot.

Am American traveler’s hotel - comfy beds, big towels, free bottlea of water, and ample room for living in the room! Highly recommend and would stay there again in a heartbeat!
