Staying at this boutique hotel was an incredible experience! I loved how it felt unique and intimate, despite being larger than its sister property. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and the location right on the river offered a serene escape from the busy parts of town. However, it can be a bit loud at times due to its central location, and I wish the dining options had more variety.
