An Anniversary Dream Come True
comfortable beds luxurious bathrooms excellent location
Our room, a Superior Double Room River View, was exquisite. The space was generous, and I loved the seating area with the tea set and couch. The city view was enchanting, especially with the river right across the street. The beds were so comfortable, and the shower was my favorite of our trip.
The walk to the subway stations felt a little long at times.
Service

The front desk staff were always friendly and eager to assist with any request. They helped us store our luggage upon early arrival and also secured a cab for us when we departed, really appreciated. I found them very kind, indeed.
