One night stay

Check-in was easy. We had a room with river view that was great. The small couch had stains on both cushions which was not appealing but overall the room seemed clean. It was hard to get soap out of the dispensers in bathroom but maybe it was just me. We did not eat at the hotel so no comment on that. Overall, we had a nice stay and great view!
