"Loved the rooftop patio and the kitchen available. It was so nice to cook a meal ourselves as we were away for 3 weeks. It was also great to be able to take leftovers home from restaurants! Laundry and dry bags for floating the river were other highlights of the stay"

"The “air conditioning” was literally non existent. I booked this hotel because it advertised AC but yet every day and even at night it was cooler outside. Horrible sleeping here and we both got little because of this. Staff was not friendly either. Location is good."
