“The riverfront setting here is genuinely captivating, especially from a balcony where a cool breeze flows in, complementing the delicious food served. Friendly staff make checking in a warm welcome, and the rooms, while historic in character, offer a surprising level of comfort, notably the beds. Its downtown location also positions you well for exploring, with key ferry access just across the street.”
