Luxury with a taste of history
" The hotel is beautifully decorated, and the front desk staff were super friendly. It’s located right across the street from the river so you can walk over and enjoy the view from the pier or a park bench. Lastly, the restaurant inside the hotel was top notch and the food was delicious."
