Beautiful Room with River View

river viewbath matquick room change
Our room had a balcony overlooking the river. The staff addressed our request for changing the bath mat promptly. I appreciated the hotel's diligence. They reassigned us to a different room upon arrival when the initial room failed inspection.
The music from a Christmas function in the main building resonated across to our room until midnight.
