Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

stained carpetshigh noise
The cleanliness was not what I expect. The carpets had some visible stains throughout the hallways. The noise level from the waterfront was high at night. Loud music continued late into the evening. I was forced to use earplugs to sleep. This issue was annoying.

Excellent stay with river views

warm greetingriver viewcomfy beds
The greeting was warm, and I received an upgrade to a grand view room. This room included a balcony overlooking the river and the bridge. I found the beds comfy and the bathroom had luxurious toiletries. A kettle and tea and coffee were available. Each evening I received turndown service with chocolates.
The hotel exterior can be difficult to reach due to traffic restrictions, potentially requiring a short walk uphill with luggage.
